I've seen the same problem on several hosts and discussed it by mail
with gjb at .

We assumed that I have a DNS problem because of this line:

> Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.

This happens with this query inside the freebsd-update script, at
line 950:

host -t srv _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org

If you prime your DNS cache with manual queries, then freebsd-update
will sometimes find the hosts and will report that it found some hosts.

But, I just tried to reproduce this and failed, the problem persists.

So, yes, it looks like a real issue.
