Please do not use "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/dtdname.dtd" in our xml documents Instead of <!DOCTYPE guide SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/guide.dtd"> please use <!DOCTYPE guide SYSTEM "/dtd/guide.dtd"> 1) On your PC: You have to hit www.g.o when validating/processing your files. It's a waste of bandwidth and slows you down. 2) When you commit the file, it is validated by CVS which has to hit www.g.o instead of using a local file. 3) When the file visited on www.g.o, the server has to get the DTD via http. It's slows the servers down a bit, servers hit each other for files they have, it defeats caching and last but not least, when one node goes down, it can break with 'failed to load external entity "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/guide.dtd"' I'll fix what I can and CC to teams for remaining files.
A better way is to simply add an entry to /etc/xml/catalog: <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/" rewritePrefix="/path_to/xml/htdocs/dtd/"/>
