Gerald,

> "Covad"? they may not allow you to use there server???

I don't have any problems looking up other sites, I just can't seem to get
database.clamav.net.

> What does your /etc/named/conf file look like?
> Just the Options {} section

My /etc/named.conf options are as follows:

options {
  directory "/etc/named";
  // spoof version for a little more security via obscurity
  version "100.100.100";
  // no forwarders defined
  // zone transfer access denied
  allow-transfer { none; };
  recursion no;
};

> Don't use nslookup, ti has a lot of problems, use "dig"

Here is what I get w/ dig:

# dig database.clamav.net
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> database.clamav.net
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


But, I can reach any other site just fine including clamav.net:

# dig clamav.net

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> clamav.net
;; global options:  printcmd
