Solved FreeBSD-Update Server List

Could someone let me know where I can find the server list for freebsd-update?

I would like to change it as the server that is being auto-picked has been painfully slow the last couple months. It took almost 3 hours to download the 11.1 -> 11.2 release patch files on my dedicated server. However, on my home machine took less than 2 minutes.

I see that 3 mirrors is available, and it keeps picking update5.freebsd.org. What are the other 2 servers?
 
Thank you, after checking geolocations on the hostnames, it appears that update4.freebsd.org, update5.freebsd.org and update6.freebsd.org are the US servers.

Switching from update5.freebsd.org (Chicago) to update6.freebsd.org (New York) solved all my issues.
