Okay, I believe I may have found a potential problem that may explain alot
of the useless checks. Even if you do have you freshclam.conf set to use
DNSDatabaseInfo, you can still get freshclam to check for no reason.

Here is the output from mine run a few minutes ago.

Current working dir is /var/www/html/clamav
Max retries == 3
ClamAV update process started at Mon Nov  1 14:21:33 2004
TTL: 880
main.cvd version from DNS: 27
Software version from DNS: 0.80
Connecting via batman.belfast.heartsine.net
main.cvd is up to date (version: 27, sigs: 23982, f-level: 2, builder:
tomek)
TTL: 880
daily.cvd version from DNS: 566
Connecting via batman.belfast.heartsine.net
daily.cvd is up to date (version: 566, sigs: 2093, f-level: 3, builder:
ccordes)
Freeing option list...done

Compare this to Filbert's, as you can see that everything was up
to date yet it still connected even though DNS was consulted.

Currently trying to figure this out but If anyone knows how this can
ahppen let us know so that we can fix it ASAP. I'm going to start with my
freshclam.conf last modified for 0.8 update.
