What do folks think is an appropriate interval for a cron job to run
freshclam? Is once an hour reasonable?

Depends on your setup. If you're running a small-scale system, run it
every 2 hours. If you have 500-5000 users, run it once an hour. If

Why not just do what I've been working on. Just set up a procmail rule
that runs freshclam whenever you get a message from the clamav-virusdb
list. It should work just as good as the clamav team sending you a
virusdb "push" every time the database is updated.

Ok, so we can't do that, but can you suggest a better method than
running freshclam every hour? I would think that the clamav development
team would be interested in doing a "push" to sites that wanted them,
because these are probably the same sites that update on an hourly basis
right now.

Indeed.
We are planning to move MLs to a new server in September.

What about a freshclam cache.
Many users probably have several if not many servers all running clamav.
If we had a freshcached daemon running on a secure server we could point
all other servers to that cache. Or better yet have that daemon notify a

Yes. Here are the pieces - there are probably simpler ways to do most of
this now.
The cron job:

Why not use squid and point httpproxy in freshclam.conf to there?

You need a transparent proxy in-line on your network connection (eg just
in front of your firewall or router).
