[clamav-users] Private mirror connection issue

We have 8 RSA servers on SUSE Linux and wanted to utilize ClamAV on them.
Since we didn't have a Linux guru, ClamAV guru or free time to investigate,
we hired an outside consultant to set up an internal server as a private
mirror (redhat linux) and setup ClamAV to download to one of our RSA
servers and run the scan daily. He provided documentation to set up the
other servers. So far I'm not having much luck. I'm watching the firewalls
and the RSA servers are getting through to our ClamAV private mirror.
However we receive errors when running freshclam.

Examples:
ClamAV update process started at Wed Nov  1 13:06:38 2017

Per the instructions on the site in the error, I tried the -v option. It
does the same thing.

Our network is not down. I can run these freshclam commands at the same
time on our one working RSA server as the nonworking RSA servers and they
fail when it goes through. I've monitored the firewall and both RSA servers
connect with no denies. Any suggestions?
