It sounds like your DNS is stuffed. Get your admin to fix it. >I don't think it's the lock server causing the delay, because plain CVS had a delay before i ran it using 'cvsd' (http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/).

Personally I'd forget about cvsd and set a repository prefix instead - this will also allow you to drop pserver and use a more secure protocol. Tony
