macbroy2 might even be one of the sources for the decay, it has a very odd 
NFS configuration due to Apple.

Franz Huber has recently recommended the following machines for external 
logins:

   lxlabbroy1..15
   macbroy20..29

Although he cannot guarantee continous availability of these relatively 
old and fragile systems.

I usually have my own indirection via .ssh/config or local /etc/hosts to 
make an alias that can be easily switched on demand, without editing too 
many hgrc files.
