[clamav-users] messages in freshclam.log

[Eric Tykwinski]

This was mentioned here before, and I can't remember what the status was.

For this example:
A dig trace leads to:
ping.clamav.net.        86400   IN      NS      ns1a.clamav.net.
;; BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRAL
dig: too many lookups

#dig daily.25671.105.1.0.6810DA54.ping.clamav.net @ns1a.clamav.net

; <<>> DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.11-Ubuntu <<>> daily.25671.105.1.0.6810DA54.ping.clamav.net @ns1a.clamav.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;daily.25671.105.1.0.6810DA54.ping.clamav.net. IN A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
ping.clamav.net.        86400   IN      NS      ns1a.clamav.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1a.clamav.net.        86400   IN      A       198.148.79.38
ns1a.clamav.net.        86400   IN      AAAA    2620:28:c000:0:aba:ca:daba:ee

So it's a continuous loop on ns1a.clamav.net to itself as authoritive for ping.clamav.net on NS causing the issue.
