FreeBSD anonymous CVS does not work

I am trying to set up jails with ezjail in FreeBSD 8.1. It requires the CVSROOT for basejail installation. The link http://docs.freebsd.org/doc/7.0-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/handbook/anoncvs.html gives two:

Code:
freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs

and

Code:
anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs

However, it does not work. When I do
Code:
cvs -d freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co src
and the error is
Code:
anoncvs.FreeBSD.org: Unknown host
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

I then try the other
Code:
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co src

and the error is
Code:
freebsd-anoncvs.liquidneon.com: Connection timed out
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Are these cvs links changed?

Thanks.
 
Thanks. However, it seems like ezjail only has the option of anonymous CVS. What is the difference between anonymous CVS sites and the CVSup sites you mentioned? Is there a way around?

As far as I know there isn't any. Both csup and cvsup use CVS.
 
I check again. It seems like

Code:
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co src

works now.
 
down again?

I've been seeing this all day:

Code:
# cvs update -Pd
ssh: connect to host anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org port 22: Operation timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Anyone else?
