I don't believe you. If the 'url' can't be resolved by DNS, then
there's no way the switch could have worked in the first place -- the
switch absolutely has to contact the repository and ask it to compare
two trees. Are you leaving some details? If not, I'd like to see a
transcript of your commandline session that demonstrates this.

Rewrite the SVNROOT portion of the URLs in your working copy by running

    svn switch --relocate http://url http://url1
