With regard to "sleep for awhile". I remember that Cloudflare's BOS server on occasion remained behind the latest CVD version (according to the DNS TXT record) for more than one hour!
Might the following be possible instead? I would imagine that Cloudflare has a means of fetching a specific file from any of their own mirror servers (via its unique, non-anycast, IP address) to check its operation. If ClamAV DB files could be requested from specific (i.e., all) CF servers, it would cause them to be pulled from ClamAV's master server(s). Is this something CF could do for ClamAV? AV software helps improve Internet security, which seems to be part of CF's mission.
