Yes, all three of the listed ones do. In fact, I believe that *most*
of the servers on the list support rsync. A good way to check is to
try this:

rsync <HOSTNAME>::
and
rsync <HOSTNAME>::suse

For instance,

rsync ftp.oregonstate.edu::

tells me that the service has moved to rsync.osuosl.org so I try

rsync rsync.osuosl.org::

and I don't see suse listed... but I know that it's on their ftp server
and I try

rsync rsync.osuosl.org::suse

and VOILA!
