Perhaps we need to add a section to the Wiki to help people who are  
behind firewalls.

I added this to my .subversion/servers file to access svn from behind  
our firewall.

[groups]
boost = svn.boost.org

[boost]
http-proxy-host = proxy.sandia.gov
http-proxy-port = 80

You'll need to customize this for your own site, of course.
