Before retiring I had a requirement to place an AV tool on all our Unix systems, most of which did not have direct internet access. They were distributed across several subnets, as well. A single local mirror was able to handle the load, and our load on the ClamAV mirror farm was not impacted. The mirror was a VM, and most of the memory was used as file system cache as there was nothing else running on the box. It was very effective and provided a single point of logging for the updates.

A similar requirement a couple years earlier was solved by integrating a local mirror with CFEngine to push signatures to the systems on a schedule that ensured redundant systems were not all reloading signatures at the same time.

I'm interested as to why people want to do private mirrors?  Other than to save bandwidth 
going to "the internet"?
