Hey Tom,

Thanks for the suggestion but it just gives me the same message over and over 
that I find in the log.

The mirrors are up and I'm receiving updates on my Solaris servers from the 
same mirror.

Do you know if this problem common in LINUX or this version?


Thanks again!


What do you get when you run nslookup and dig against that RR pool address (from the affected system)? I get:


bash-3.2$ nslookup db.local.clamav.net
Server:         192.168.2.1
Address:        192.168.2.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
db.local.clamav.net     canonical name = db.us.rr.clamav.net.
Name:   db.us.rr.clamav.net
Address: 168.143.19.95
Name:   db.us.rr.clamav.net
Address: 194.8.197.22
Name:   db.us.rr.clamav.net
Address: 208.72.56.53
Name:   db.us.rr.clamav.net
Address: 65.19.179.67

bash-3.2$ dig db.local.clamav.net
