Stupid as in development stopped, agreed.

However, there have been times in the past where cvs.digium.com has not
resolved for me either. Now, seeing that both nameservers apparently are
on the same subnet (216.207.245.1 and .12 respective), I would guess
that the intermittent "unresolved" messages are due more to connectivity
problems to the nameservers.

Two rules of thought when I comes to placement of NS servers:

1) If the name servers are local to the domains the resolve for, no need
for geographic distribution. I.e., if the network is unavailable for a
[short] period of time, ain't no one getting there no how.

2) Place a slave DNS server at some other location. In the event of that
same outage or lack of connectivity to the destination, names will
resolve but the connection will timeout.

I guess the morale is, if you can't resolve cvs.digium.com, shake the
Magic 8 Ball and Try Again Later.
