Help! Using subversion from behind the firewall

Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me.  I have googled and checked FAQs.  But no one seems to have the same problem.

The following is my environment:

bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_118822-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,A70

bash-3.00$ svn --version
svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196)
   compiled Nov 22 2006, 06:41:39


I am using subversion behind the firewall.  So I modified $HOME/.subversion/server with the http-proxy/port information.

I am able to access an svn repository if the URL is using the "http://" protocol.  However, I have no luck with any URL with protocol "svn://".

For example, the following works for me:

% svn checkout http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby jruby

But the following returns error:

% svn checkout svn://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby jruby
svn: Unknown hostname 'svn.codehaus.org'

It would've been fine with http except some repositories do not seem to allow the use of "http://" protocol.

For example, the following URL does not work for me with either "http://" or "svn://":

%  svn checkout http://rubyforge.org/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integratio rails-integration
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration'
svn: PROPFIND of '/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration': Could not resolve hostname `rubyforge.org': Host not found (http://rubyforge.org)

% svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration rails-integration
svn: Unknown hostname 'rubyforge.org'

What should I do?  Any help is greatly appreciated!  (BTW, I do know that the above URLs, svn:// and http://, work fine from outside of the firewall).

Thanks,
