Hello MadMax.
Of course, I've heard about, and evaluated IPCop.
I currently use a Win2000-based proxy system since it also has other useful functions in my LAN. Maybe I will change later.
So I already update thru this proxy, but that's not my real problem. I'd just like not to have to try to update **manually** on every station, and as I computed in my previous post, allowing them to do it automatically **from the Internet server** would result in about 50h communication per month.
So what I expect is to make them update automatically, but from an internal server located on the LAN (on the proxy PC), and that would make available the files that itself would have downloaded from the Internet server, automatically but only when connected (as the proxy is denied to connect by itself).
In license terms, such a procedure is equivalent to separately updating several PCs located on a small perso LAN, it is just nicer, and cheaper for modem connected people.
I still have some freeware micro-HTTP servers I can use, I just have to find a way to detect when Avast-on-my-proxy-PC brings new update files, then make them available to the micro-HTTP server.
Did the info you found talk about such an operation ?
Thanx,
Greetings,
