I am just starting to try and get clamd + freshclam running on some Ubuntu
servers running on EC2 servers in the US Standard Region (east coast). The
documentation talks about specifying a mirror which is close to you but it
seems to default to the round-robin endpoint. I have run freshclam a number
of times and sometimes it takes 14 seconds and sometimes it takes 6
minutes. I can see that the ip address is different on the calls and am
trying to figure out how I can get it to take 14 seconds all the time :). I
can't find anything that says there is a mirror in the Amazon DataCenter.
How can I make this behavior reliable fast.
Thanks

Since you are running a Unix system you can use your own BIND
installation to create a freshclam zone of your choosing. Create a zone,
say freshclam.grabner, populate it with IP addresses from existing
reliable servers using my.freshclam.grabner in a round-robin array, and
use that (my.freshclam.grabner) in your freshclam.conf file.
Obviously it becomes your responsibility to maintain an accurate list,
but that can be entirely automated with some simple scripting. This
isn't anything I would recommend, but there are gaps in the global
coverage it can help fill, and it will certainly work while putting all
the joy and heartache of success or failure in your camp.
