You can switch between CVS servers by changing the CVSROOT environment
variable. Most of the time, you don't even need to do that: once you
are in a work directory, cvs will automatically use the repository
stored in the administrative files.
The only time you need to set CVSROOT is when checking out a new
repository.
Usually, to avoid confusion, I don't even do that: I just set the
cvsroot for the few commands that need it using the -d switch. For
example:
cvs -d :ext:user@host:/var/cvs co foo
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@foo.example.com:/cvs/bar login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@foo.example.com:/cvs/bar co quux
... then, after that, drop the -d switch and its argument.
