I've never seen a DNS age warning, but that might be because, for several years now, I only run freshclam when the DNS TXT record (which I check hourly) says there is a new signature available compared to a local file's version number (in its header).

Maybe I should also look at the DNS record's TS field. What is considered "old" for this?
