nscd is optionnal and make things faster, when everything works, but has
got 
annoying side effects with caching, when you try to make things work, so
it's not a problem
not to have it.

How DNS works in few lines

We add an include /etc/bind/named.conf
for /var/lib/sourceforge/bind/dns.zone

dns.zone is filled by /usr/lib/sourceforge/bin/dns_conf.pl
called by an hourly cron you can find in /etc/cron.d/sourceforge

dns_conf.pl concatenate 
/var/lib/sourceforge/bind/dns.head
with data extracted from the database
to create 
/var/lib/sourceforge/bind/dns.zone
that should end with a serie of

project1                   IN      A       <IP ADRESS OF YOUR SERVER>
cvs.project1               IN      CNAME   cvs.<FDQN OF YOUR SERVER>.

If this is ok
try 
host project1.<your fdqn>

If this doesn't work try to look in syslog if you have got info about
bind

Hope this helps :)
