Thanks Dennis.

More than anything I was simply curious as to why people do this, each for their own reasons.

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.
