cvs keeps a pointer to the cvs server in the files CVS/Root.  For example:

  % cat CVS/Root 
  :ext:address@hidden:/cvs

When you change  the location of the repository, if  you don't want to
check out new working copies,  you should update these CVS/Root files,
using a script like:

#!/bin/sh
for file in `find . -name Root -print` ; do
ed $file <<'EOF'
s/@[-.A-Za-z0-9]*.informatimago.com:/@cvs.informatimago.com:/
w
q
EOF
done
exit 0


(Edit the line "s/@[-.A-Za-z0-9]*.informatimago.com:/@cvs.informatimago.com:/" 
to match your situation).
