Yes, the security lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this.
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
The deb-src line wrapped, it should all be on one line.

There is security support for testing (Squeeze) also, although most
fixes transition from unstable. The security team does upload security
fixes for testing if the need arises though.
Use the same info for sources.list but replace lenny with squeeze.

Yes, the mirrors contain oldstable (etch), stable (lenny), testing
(squeeze), and unstable (sid). One mirror should do for any of those.
