CVS on several different domains

I've searched and found several howto's to setup a CVS server. But they all focus on just setting up one directory with a repository in it.
What I need is to have several directory's with their own repository and admin. Simple example:

cvs.nedlinux.nl should be linked to /home/sites/nedlinux/cvs
cvs.nedbsd.nl should be linked to /home/sites/nedbsd/cvs

both should have different rights and no rights on each other.
As fas as I know in xinetd.conf I can only point to 1 cvs directory.
Anyway who can help me with this?

There is a program called cvs-nserver (http://cvs-nserver.sourceforge.net/) which can control what you need with little effort. I was succeed in building it on top of Gentoo's CVS package.

The cvs-nserver adds multi-root capabilities, authentication against PAM (I'm using winbind to do this) and ACL support is planned.

I'm not sure if the project is active, the last update on the website is from march/2002.

ok, I'm checking that out.
But so it is not possible to have what I want with the good old cvs? How do other site's/servers do this?
