I have a question. I presume that there are more physical Cloudflare server instances than implied by database.clamav.net's 5 IP addresses, and that they are geographically distributed, rather than all being in/near San Francisco. This suggests that they are Anycast addresses. But I don't know how to determine where the server instances are located, or which one(s) we reach when trying to download cvds.
The fact that we have observed a 1 hour delay further suggests that there a large number of instances, otherwise they would be brought into sync with the DNS TXT record more quickly. Is there any way that you people at ClamAV can determine when the various server instances in fact get the new cvd files? I would think that a CDN would provide statistics on that, especially if expected delays are spelled out in an SLA.
