No need for some magic "freshcache". Just run freshclam on one of your servers, run a webserver on it (maybe allowing only your machines to use it if you want so) and instruct other machines' freshclams to use your webserver (DatabaseMirror directive in freshclam.conf) as the source for updates. > You lose the cache -> no server updates > Losing your secure server -> you are in bigger trouble than just not > getting mail As a last resort, on "client servers" you can run additional freshclam processes checking for updates far less often, directly to official mirrors. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
