RES: [squid-users] Update Accelerator, Squid and Windows Update Caching

Good lucky on your research.
Depending on what antivirus do u have, u can also make a server to virus definitions.
I have around 400 clients, that's why I�d like WSUS and SAV with liveupdate.
Let us know your findings.

Cya.

Hi Ricardo,

I do like your suggestion :) but the trouble is that we don't have a
suitable Windows server, only client workstations.

I'm inclined to agree that it would be a lot less hassle to just buy
the appropriate version of windows and setup a WUS server, but on the
other hand, it would be cool if caching of Windows updates (antivirus
updates etc) was just transparently handled by Squid.

I will continue my investigation and report back.
