[wpkg-users] WPKG over multiple sites using local storage

[Paul McGrath]

Hi Dave
  create a few settings xml files and corresponding settings merge/update packages, one for each site.  The difference between each setting xml will only be the value of the $SOFTWARE% var, equaling a software distribution point/server for each site.  Then make corresponding profile xmls and then test with PCs in your hosts file that represent each site.
  This way your european offices will still get their settings from the central London server but install software from their local server.
  Hope that helps
Paul

Hi,

I'm looking at how's best to setup multiple WAN locations with our WPKG server. We currently have a WPKG server in London and are setting up an office in Europe. The two sites will be VPN'd together fine and the WPKG server will work fine over the WAN, but is there a way to ease the file transfer by having another server in the second office just to store the files/software to update to reduce the amount of traffic between the two offices? Kind of like a proxy server in the second office but using the same WPKG server and database as in London.

Cheers,
Dave.
