Chuck:

Is the Linux server available for other use? I _believe_ Sophos has this 
ability for Linux. If so, it _might_ be a good choice as the controlling 
system, maintaining the central update directory through Samba. It ought to be 
a relatively low drain on it. The authority for the share could be essentially 
*RWX for Linux-based access and only *RX for everybody else.

Just a possible option.
