I lied.

The DNS server order in resolv.cfg was wrong.  The external DNS servers were 
supposed to be first.

Sorry for wasting time.

Subject: [Clamav-users] Freshclam Stopped Working

Hello,

After changing our DNS services from Netware to OES Linux/BIND, freshclam 
stopped getting updates.

When we run freshclam we get: 

WARNING: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net and 
WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode.
Connecting via Our_proxy_server_IP
Reading CVD header (main.cvd): ERROR: Unknown response from remote server
WARNING: Can't read main.cvd header from db.us.rr.clamav.net (IP: 
Our_proxy_server_IP)

Using nslookup on our proxy server (which is Netware 6.5) I get valid responses 
for both current.cvd.clamav.net and db.us.clamav.net.

Our firewall log is showing the proxy server attempting to contact our internal 
DNS server at the times freshclam is running, so it appears the proxy server is 
trying to resolve the names via our internal DNS server rather than our 
external (Internet) DNS servers.  resolv.cfg has our internal DNS server first 
in the list, but that has always been.

Can anyone suggest a resolution?

Thank you.
