I hesitate to suggest this, but I use dig to grab IP numbers, and then
manually set CVSROOT to a given machine looking for one that works,
and then always go to that machine directly rather than using the
'cvs.gnome.org' round-robin. This cured my problems mostly, but it's
definately a less than optimal solution.

Exactly who is responsible for the 'gnome.org' domain?
