All,

I cannot run Freshclam in DNS mode, it always fall back to HTTP. Below
attached the message from my machine;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Tue May 17 12:43:32 2005
WARNING: DNS record is older than 3 hours.
WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode.
Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK (IMS)
main.cvd is up to date (version: 31, sigs: 33079, f-level: 4, builder:
tkojm)
Reading CVD header (daily.cvd): OK (IMS)
daily.cvd is up to date (version: 880, sigs: 1312, f-level: 5, builder:
ccordes)

Then I check the DNS resolv;

--- SNIP ---

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net
current.cvd.clamav.net text "0.85.1:31:881:1116300541:0"

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# nslookup current.cvd.clamav.net
Server:         202.155.0.10
Address:        202.155.0.10#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find current.cvd.clamav.net: No answer

----------------------------------------------

Compare to resolve yahoo.com

---SNIP---

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# nslookup yahoo.com
Server:         202.155.0.10
Address:        202.155.0.10#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   yahoo.com
Address: 66.94.234.13
Name:   yahoo.com
Address: 216.109.112.135

-------------------------------------------

The DNS can get the TXT record (not A record) of current.cvd.clamav.net, but
why Freshclam cannot run in DNS? What things should I fix?

Your answer is very appreciated

Thx & Rgds,

Awie
