Dear Torok Edwin and friends, Many thanks for your information. You say below that it is a private mirror, and you say here that it is > a public mirror. > Which one is it? > > If you want to become a *public* mirror, do you have the necesary > bandwidth? (10 Mbit/s, unlimited traffic)
As i mentioned in the first email, now i have been investigating ClamAV on some commercial products, so we need to evaluate from many aspects. We want to build our own mirror, so we can manage any services on it. Bandwidth, traffic or any other condition is not our problem. Can you give me some advices for some following questions: + If i build a Windows-mirror, what version we should use (server2003, server2008, xp ...) + If i build a linux-mirror, what distro we should use (centos, fedora, debian, ubuntu ...) Maybe some distro of linux, version of windows has some advantages over other distros, versions. So i would like to know, what distro of linux, what version of windows are best > > No, you can't rebuild a .cvd. > > I think you can write some script to fetch the .cdiff file from the > public mirror, launched from freshclam's --on-update-execute. > You then put these files on your local webserver, and set your other > freshclams to use your webserver as a mirror. > Then those freshclams should be able to use .cdiff files also. > The problem is that if incremental update fails [*], they will look for > a .cvd file, so you would need the master freshclam to download a .cvd > anyway. > > I think it is much simpler, if you just set up all freshclams to use a > caching proxy, that way: > - you don't waste public mirrors bandwidth, since each DB update is > downloaded only once for the entire network > - you don't waste public mirror bandwidth by downloading a .cvd file > each time > - it will work even if a .cdiff fails to be applied [*] > > [*]: incremental update can fail if your DB is too old, and not all > .cdiffs are available anymore from the mirrors, or due to a corrupted > download Many thanks for your useful information Best regards, TungDH _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
