What about a deeper mirroring system? Perhaps one that supports notification?
One of the things I like about BIND (not enough to use it, but still an admired concept ;-) is the way zones can be distributed... notification speeds things up if it works, polling creates a failsafe in which a missing notify doesn't cause the world to end... Hourly polls is a good thing - but if the system worked both ways, the mirror could signal the end clients that it's time to download... those notifies could be send only to clients that had registered to receive it (an option in freshclam) and would not push the data, but trigger a freshclam pull. It could provide faster update response and smooth out the spikes in download traffic, and could be used to maintain a larger set of mirrors... without increasing polling frquency... a new "freshclam server" could allow all larger users to easily run their own mirrors for internal distribution... Just a few ideas... m/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
