Hi Joseph,
in General it's not possible with pfsense. As Chris mentioned most
Solutions will require a windows server machine for delivering updates
to the Clients.
Some Antivirus Solutions, such as Eset NOD32, could be configured to use
an alternate http server for getting it's updates. It's possible to
setup a squid package installation on the pfsense box and use it as a
caching proxy. The signatures will be downloaded only once and then
delivered from Cache.
Other Products like Symantec Enterprise Protection offer the possibility
of "Global Update Provider" Clients. These provide updates by peer to
peer like functions, electing one Client as the bridgehead for signature
updates.
regards
Christian

Hi,
I would like to confirm if pfsense can act as a centralized PC to
update anti-virus to multiple host PC's connected on the same LAN.
In our setup we have ADSL , Lease-line and E1 connections that are
used as a means of internet connectivity to our pfsense WAN interface
whereas the LAN interface connect to HUB that redistribute connection
to multiple host PC's.
As a means of cutting down costs to purchase each licenses for each
hosts our anti-virus supplier has provided us a solution with one
exchange server or PC to many connected clients on a network,
therefore the pfsense machine will automatically extract updates from
the antivirus remote server and pfsense will redistribute it to the
connected clients on a network.
Thanks
Joseph.
