Just FYI, the machine in question should be back up Real Soon Now
so we won't be doing this but...  If sites know they're going to
be down for a while we try to "cover for them" by switching
the DNS entries, especially for the ones in the Top Level Domain.
Lots of sites (e.g. mine :-) have their own internal cvs mirror
setups, and their main site cvsup server doesn't go screaming at
the admins when it hasn't been able to reach its upstream site
for a while (and who checks /var/log/cvsup.log on a routine basis?).
