Simplest would probably be a cron job to run freshclam followed by scp to the 
firewalled machines.

Keep in mind:

1. There's nothing special about the signatures - they're just files which 
need dumping into the appropriate directory.

2. There's nothing special about collecting them from the authoritative 
servers - it's just an http request (ie: if you don't want to run freshclam, 
you could use wget etc).

Antony.
