I have internal (on the other side of the firewall) local mirrors which
update definitions daily. All my "clients" use freshclam to update from
these servers successfully, my problem is a few servers are in a DMZ (behind
the firewall) and the firewall admins won't allow me to use HTTP on port 80,
I have to use HTTP on another port to update from my (interal) local
mirrors. So, it sounds like freshclam won't allow me to specify which http
port to use (except for proxy which I'm not using). So, I'll stick with
wget/curl the updates (which I can specify a port), instead of rsync+ssh,
and then use sigtool to verify the definitions before telling clamd about
them.
Thanks everyone.
