<answer>
<para>While CVSup mirrors update from the master CVSup
<para>While <application>CVSup</application> mirrors update from the master <application>CVSup</application>
server hourly, this update might happen at any time during
the hour. This means that some servers have newer code
than others, even though all servers have code that is
less than an hour old. If <hostid role="fqdn">cvsup.FreeBSD.org</hostid> was a round
robin DNS entry that simply redirected users to a random
CVSup server, running CVSup twice in a row could download
<application>CVSup</application> server, running <application>CVSup</application> twice in a row could download
code older than the code already on the system.</para>
