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.
