I'm running ClamAV on a lot of clients on my local network. Can I mirror the database locally so that each client doesn't have to download it from your servers?
Sure, install a proxy server and then configure your freshclam clients to use it (watch for the HTTPProxyServer parameter in man freshclam.conf). Alternatively, you can configure a local webserver on one of your machines (say machine1.mylan) and let freshclam download the *.cvd files from http://database.clamav.net to the webserver's DocumentRoot. Finally, change freshclam.conf on your clients so that it reads: DatabaseMirror machine1.mylan First the database will be downloaded to the local webserver and then the other clients on the network will update their copy of the database from it. I did read this but I can not seem to get it to work. We do have a web server running on our network. It is an apache server. Do I just stick the .cvd files in the /var/www/html directory (/var/www/html is our root dir)? What should the freshclam.conf file look like?
