The dsl modem (and my caching nameserver) at home doesn't resolve TXT 
records, which is something i just discovered.. so a "dig @192.168.1.1 
current.cvd.clamav.net TXT" fails though "dig @ns1.clamav.net.." works, thus 
leading to the fallback http.. thanks for making me think. 

Time for more work, sigh.
