Hi Robin:

Wendy B will follow with details, but yes, IP sockets are built into the 
design. The main reasons:

(1) Portability: desire not to restrict operation of service/deamon to Unix 
systems.
(2) Shareability: with an IP socket - you can have one daemon shared across 
multiple DSpace clients on different hosts This is a big win when you run 
mulitple DSpace instances, since you only have to maintain one Clam instance 
with updates, etc.

Thanks,

Richard
