Hello,

                               ^^^^^^^^
You seem to nslookup "ftp11.tw.freebsd.org.COM.TW". If it's right, 

> Address:  82.98.86.170

is correct as follows:

$ dig A ftp11.tw.freebsd.org.com.tw

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> A ftp11.tw.freebsd.org.com.tw
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 53400
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ftp11.tw.freebsd.org.com.tw.   IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ftp11.tw.freebsd.org.com.tw. 600 IN     A       82.98.86.170

So you had better check your PC's settings.


BTW, a wild card record(*.org.com.tw) is probably used. For example, I
got same results with following queries:

$ dig A foo.bar.freebsd.org.com.tw
$ dig A foo.bar.org.com.tw
$ dig A foo.org.com.tw


Best regards.
