Hi, I'm having a dns problem with freshclam. Whenever it tries to check for updates, it reports the following in it's log file: WARNING: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode. (The fall back to http works, so the problem is minimal, but I would like to fix the dns problem) So: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net has no TXT record This is in line with the freshclam problem, but: # host -a current.cvd.clamav.net Trying "current.cvd.clamav.net" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 64641 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;current.cvd.clamav.net. IN ANY ;; ANSWER SECTION: current.cvd.clamav.net. 895 IN TXT "0.90:42:2690:1172752141:1" Received 78 bytes from 192.168.0.99#53 in 21 ms Hmm, there is the TXT record anyway, and right away: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net descriptive text "0.90:42:2690:1172752141:1" This works for a while but after some time the previous response reappears: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net has no TXT record So freshclam keeps giving the Warnings... This is on an OpenSuse 10.2 server, which communicates with a firewall/dns-server (also OpenSuse 10.2). The firewall/dns-server machine doesn't have the same symptoms, there the 'host -t txt current...' command gets the correct response every time. However a Suse 9.0 server on the same network has the same problem!? What could be the problem? And how do I fix it?
