I am the wrong person to answer that question.

In this case, things have not become lame.  For instance, the names 
ervers for se.freebsd.org work fine, but ftp3.se and ftp6.se records are 
removed.  Same for ru.freebsd.org and ftp4.ru.
I'm merely pointing out that changing ftp.CC.freebsd.org usually 
requires contacting the person(s) maintaining the CC.freebsd.org zone, 
which is usually not the project.
