Hi

> I'm looking at implementing clamav for a somewhat large userbase.  Due to
that, I need to run multiple clamds on seperate machines so as not to eat
all the resources on the main mail server.  Think "spamd/spamc"...

On my server clamd is ways faster as spamc, maybe just because it only gets
a filename, whereas spamc resends the whole file.
I am quite source, you will place more load on you server for all that
additional network traffic than for scanning all these mails on the local
server.

If you NEED to share the load, think about loadbalancing of the
email-service as a whole. Having exim AND clamd on any server would also
make the whole thing fault-tolerant.

cu,
  Steffen
