Why not? Moving it to a pool of AV scanning boxes would be a good idea.
I'm not suggesting that the caller be moved, but the work is moved. So
the MX gets the mail, but uses the clam client to talk to a clam server
that's in a pool... somewhere.

That would seem to be a good use of resources to me.

The resource pool could be a loadbalancer for example, if one works
with an office LAN that would be a good use of boxes that are doing
nothing more than running a xscreensaver.
