True, but that's not what's being asked here. If multiple URLs could
serve requests for a single repository---i.e., if you've got both
deb http://ftp1.CC.debian.org/debian unstable main
and
deb http://ftp2.CC.debian.org/debian unstable main
in your sources.list, then apt will download everything from
ftp1.CC.debian.org (bar those files it gets an error on at that server;
in that case, it will download them from the second server).
Which is, indeed, silly.
