Database mirrors

freshclam downloads the database from `http://database.clamav.net`. As of March 2004 we attempt to redirect our users to the closest pool of mirrors by looking at their ip source address when they try to resolve database.clamav.net. Our DNS servers can answer with a CNAME to: db.europe.clamav.net, db.america.clamav.net, db.asia.clamav.net or db.other.clamav.net. Our advanced push-mirroring mechanism allows database maintainers to update all the mirrors in less than one minute ! Thanks to the help of many companies and organisations we have a few dozen of very fast and reliable mirrors:

There is a DatabaseMirror directive in the config file, which specifies the main database server freshclam will attempt to connect to (up to MaxAttempts times) in order to check or update the database. If there are more DatabaseMirror lines specified it will switch automatically to the next one if a connection with the previous mirror failed for some reason.
