And you didn't read the comments above that line... it says "It's used as a fall
back", and the previous section is the one you _should_ have configured.

The first DB mirror should be your region's mirror, then you can put other fall
back mirrors and, as the comments say, don't touch the last one which is the one
you showed.

What will happen is that if the first mirror fails (3 times) the second will be
tried and so on until the last.  The last one tries to determine where you are
(region or country) and redirects you to a close (and reliable) mirror.  Yes it
can still fail, there's a recent tread entitled "Freshclam won't update" which
is about a region server that hasn't updated one of the DB files since before
Aug. 17; that's why more than one fall back works better.

HTH.
