You're downloading over 2.5 GB of data daily between these four

That's abuse in my book.
(More like about 1GB between the 4 servers as opposed to about 60kB)
And they may be running a private mirror from those servers for their
thousands of users
But still -
People think if they're downloading to a server and then their users'
PCs download from that server, then they're saving bandwidth, but about
11,000 client computers getting a CDIFF is similar in terms of bandwidth
usage to *one* server downloading 'daily.cvd' and 'main.cvd' - plus the
internal bandwidth is *vastly* smaller if the users' computers get the
CDIFFs than if they redownload the whole daily.cvd every day across the
LAN/WAN
