if you are using (US code), eg:

db.us.clamav.net

There as some non-US IPs contained, mainly...

128.199.133.36  - Asia - Singapore
150.214.142.197 - Europe - Spain
194.186.47.19   - Europe - Russian Federation
194.8.197.22    - Europe - Germany
78.46.84.244    - Europe - Germany

Not sure why, other than perhaps US code needs a lot of mirrors, so
some have been placed outside US.

One for the team I think to answer.

Cheers,

Steve
