As of last night, I am not able to access the libtiff CVS repository from my network. Are others encountering the same?

Traceroute shows strange routing which eventually leads no-where:

% traceroute 94.23.4.142

traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 65.66.246.65 @ nge0 traceroute to 94.23.4.142 (94.23.4.142), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

There is a disconnect in the DNS forward and reverse resolution plus strange whois information for the address that DNS is providing:

% host cvs.maptools.org
cvs.maptools.org is an alias for lab.maptools.org.
lab.maptools.org has address 94.23.4.142
% host 94.23.4.142

142.4.23.94.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ks365428.kimsufi.com.

% whois ks365428.kimsufi.com
    Server Name: KS365428.KIMSUFI.COM
    IP Address: 94.23.4.142
