 Hi,
 I'm trying to build a redundant duo of firewalls/routers/gateways and I'm
 thinking about not putting any disks in them and instead using a usb-stick
 raid-1 as storage.
 Has anyone any experience with this?

I simply wouldn't build a system that is dependent on USB for the rootfs
full-time, unless it's very unimportant.  I've seen USB ports get disabled
while in-use plenty of times.  Instead, an ATA to CF or SD adapter can be
had quite inexpensively.

 I usually use SSH keys in conjunction with ClusterSSH (
http://clusterssh.sourceforge.net), I have been using the 3.27 version with
good results.  It makes managing batches of servers a bit easier, allowing
the execution of the same command across multiple systems at the same time.

In the same vein, I instead recomend pdsh.  It has a few quirks which
increases the learning curve, but it works very, very well, assuming that's
the level of control you want/need.

connection are ok.

Do an nmap scan on svn.mplayerhq.hu.  Look for svn / subversion in etc
services to see which port you specifically need to have open.  I'd bet your
upstream firewall is blocking the port.  You can try connection to the host
+ port with nc -w2 -v to see if you get connected.  Type some junk and you
should see some error back from the server.
If the network looks good with all of the above, the problem is with your
local svn binary, or its configuration.
