Greetings,

I am the administrator for cvsup.freebsd.org.  I am upgrading the hardware 
and also transitioning to a new IP address.

Presently we have:

 	cvsup.freebsd.org is an alias for n.cwu.edu.
 	n.cwu.edu has address 198.104.69.57

We need to change that CNAME to point at the new host which has IP address 
72.233.193.64:

 	bsn0-0.edmz.cwu.edu.

We also need to change the permissions on cvsup-master.freebsd.org to allow 
72.233.193.64 (bsn0-0.edmz.cwu.edu) to sync from it.

The new server is operational, visible to the Internet and is presently 
syncing locally from the old one, n.cwu.edu.

While the CNAME change can happen anytime, it would be ideal if there 
could be some overlap in the permissions at cvsup-master - in case the 
change is made at an instant when I am not around to apply the 
corresponding change on this end.

Regards,
-Chris Timmons

p.s. Back when John Polstra & I set the original machine up circa 2000, we 
thought that an 8G repository partion would last a really long time.  I 
guess it did, but time is running out :)
