After testing several of the DNS round robin aliases I found the
db.ca.clamav.net had the most reliable server set for North America. After
editing the freshclam.conf file the files updated on the next cron.hourly cycle.
I also found that the number of viable mirror sites is a small portion of the
total number of mirrors. I also found that a lot of "local" mirrors are not all
that local.
I think I'll run a health check of every mirror in the western hemisphere and
use the results in a local DNS round robin running my own servers. It is a form
of dynamic load balancing using real-time network response time. If nothing else
it will stop most if not all attempts to missing mirrors which seem to be the
majority. Obviously it will also ignore mirrors that disallow icmp traffic.

Is this an issue on my side or on ClamAV mirror side?
Any help is appreciated.
