yes, it is, clamscan will timeout and worse, use up 100% of the cpu,
so, you won't even be able to log in and work on it.<br>
we run a backup clamd scanner on a secondary box, listening to tcp,
with the backup amavisd-virus scanner pointing to it.<br>
<br>
Easy to do in 2.7, but can be done with 2.6* as well.<br>
<br>
basically, call clamdscan cli, pointing to a second clamd.conf,
which points to the backup clamd scanner.<br>
