I have been having the same problem recently, but it depends which
nameserver I use. The nameserver run by my cable provider has been
doing that intermittently for some time, the nameserver run by my
dialup ISP doesn't have the problem.

You need root access to change those, if that is not available you can
use switch

$ svn sw --relocate http://svn.collab.net/ http://216.127.237.133/ wc

to hard-code the address in the working copy.
