" You may be up against a limitation of your BIND resolver." - First thought was a DNS issue but according to the FAQ's on Clam site, it should resolve using TXT format, which it does successfully. Unfortunately at this site I'm not in charge of the DNS servers.
How would I resolve a "limitation" in my bind resolver? Would them allowing recursive searches help this issue? I get the same resolution that you received: root@server opt# nslookup db.local.clamav.net Server: 152.120.2.200 Address: 152.120.2.200#53 Non-authoritative answer: db.local.clamav.net canonical name = db.us.rr.clamav.net.
