I'm currently working on making sure that Camino's release procedures are fully redundant on cb-xserve04.

Unfortunately, when I try to execute the anonymous cvs checkout that we use for release tarabll creation, cb-xserve04 is for some reason unable to see cvs-mirror.mozilla.org: 

Unknown host cvs-mirror.mozilla.org.

All of our other tinderboxen are able to see cvs-mirror, but for some reason cb-x4 isn't.

All of the Camino tinderboxen have different DNS servers and search paths specified (whatever was current IT practice when each box was set up?); my guess is that cb-x4 doesn't have the right set specified, but even inserting some of the ones from cb-x1 doesn't seem to help solve this problem.

I'm of course happy to run some tests from the box (over ssh/VNC) and provide any useful information, if that makes things easier for IT.

You should use one of the following for dns:

64.127.100.12
64.235.225.10 

or make this box match the other tinderbox.  reopen and include the contents of /etc/resolv.conf if adding those doesn't fix it.

The original (before I started trying to add things to make cb-x4 match cb-x1) DNS was 127.0.0.1 (which amazingly worked well enough for the box to function).

I had added 64.127.100.12 as the first server in the list before filing this bug, but that obviously didn't help.  However, today I *removed* 127.0.0.1 from the list entirely, and that made connections to cvs-mirror work.  Thanks so much, mrz!
