As we say in the doc, we only _attempt_ to redirect clients to the
closest mirror. The closest server (geographically speaking) is not 
necessarily the best mirror for you to use, so there is no need to try
hard to redirect a client to the closest mirror.

We grouped our mirrors like this just to avoid using 53/tcp replies to
dns queries.

Since the number of mirrors keeps growing, in the near future we may
need to change this approach in favour of another one based on country
codes.

You can already start using the following hostname as a clamav mirror 
if you like:

db.TWOLETTERCOUNTRYCODE.clamav.net

Right now most of them are just aliases for db.america.clamav.net,
db.europe.clamav.net and db.asia.clamav.net

Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties.


Best regards
