 Closest mirrors</A>
 </H3>
     The <code>DatabaseMirror</code> directive in the config file specifies the
     database server <code>freshclam</code> will attempt (up to <code>MaxAttempts</code>
     times) to download the database from. The default database mirror
ee93a07e
     is <TT><A NAME="tex2html15"
96e05490
   HREF="database.clamav.net">database.clamav.net</A></TT> but multiple directives are allowed.
     In order to download the database from the closest mirror you should  
ee93a07e
     configure <code>freshclam</code> to use <TT><A NAME="tex2html16"
96e05490
   HREF="db.xx.clamav.net">db.xx.clamav.net</A></TT> where xx
     represents your country code. For example, if your server is in "Ascension
     Island" you should have the following lines included in <code>freshclam.conf</code>:
     <PRE>
 	DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
 	DatabaseMirror db.ac.clamav.net
 	DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
 </PRE>
     The second entry acts as a fallback in case the connection to the first
     mirror fails for some reason. The full list of two-letters country codes
ee93a07e
     is available at <TT><A NAME="tex2html17"
