For a few hours now, freshclam has been unable to update my database. It is configured with two server names: >DatabaseMirror db.dk.clamav.net >DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
But when I run it with -v, it turns out that it tries the same IP address over and over, regardless of which of the two names it looks up (see output at the end of this message). This seems a bit strange, since db.dk.clamav.net is a CNAME for db.northeu.clamav.net, which has 7 A records with different IP addresses (and database.clamav.net is an alias for the same, through a different CNAME chain). Is the round robin possibly not working?
