[clamav-users] ClamAV: Local Private Mirror

[Dennis Peterson]

Before retiring I had a requirement to place an AV tool on all our Unix systems, 
most of which did not have direct internet access. They were distributed across 
several subnets, as well. A single local mirror was able to handle the load, and 
our load on the ClamAV mirror farm was not impacted. The mirror was a VM, and 
most of the memory was used as file system cache as there was nothing else 
running on the box. It was very effective and provided a single point of logging 
for the updates.

A similar requirement a couple years earlier was solved by integrating a local 
mirror with CFEngine to push signatures to the systems on a schedule that 
ensured redundant systems were not all reloading signatures at the same time.
