It was moved from the cvs.savannah.gnu.org IP to the
download.savannah.gnu.org IP because we needed the https port, but
that was quite a while ago. It is still working.

I see that there was a problem with the FAQ, so that the related page
was not showned (orphaned). This is fixed now.

People who can't access the CVS ports because of firewall outgoing
traffic restrictions need to talk with their sysadmins about the
uselessness of such restriction, and the constraints it imposes on
us. We have yet to receive any carbon-copy of such complaint (as we
asked), which is quite sad.
