[clamav-users] Freshclam failure - Still ongoing???

[Dennis Peterson]

I grabbed a tld file to use to locate (best effort) all ClamAV mirrors using a 
couple patterns I've discovered. Surely there is a better way but I'm old and 
time is precious.

db.TLD.clamav.net
db.TLD.rr.clamav.net

I used the host command to find every mirror available to this method. That 
returned over 500 hosts but with many IP duplicates. After dedup'ing the list I 
got 144 uniq servers. I pinged that list and got 33 pingable servers world wide. 
I ran that list through geoiplookup and got this list of healthy pingable 
servers sorted by world region.

Many of the unreachable IP's are the result of firewall decisions and don't 
necessarily reflect a failed system.

My intention now is to create a list of fairly local systems and create a DNS RR 
table for my own use. I will track performance using the mirrors.dat file 
(freshclam --list-mirrors). I suggest before anyone removed this file that you 
gather a report using freshclam so that you can monitor your own site 
interactions as the new mirrors.dat file collects data. A little forensics goes 
a long way.

The following list are the only mirrors world wide that I could find and which 
also responded to a ping. It isn't much of a list.
