OK.

That makes sense, I missed that.  I am starting to think, though, that
maybe the Choices field should be untranslated, as they really should be
FQDN's (db.fr.clamav.net).  I think that may be the smarter way to
handle it, although then there is really a wrap problem.

OK.

I'm not planning to take that task on for this - it's already handled by
upstream at the master DNS sites.  They have different 'views' for the
site db.local.clamav.net depending on connecting IP, and they have tried
to return a close site based on that.  They just ask that people try to
use a close on picking, e.g., db.fr.clamav.net.

Thanks again,
