10.4: Manually add a Tiger Software Update Server
Is there a way to specify multiple servers in that preference file? This would be useful on a laptop - for example, specify a fast swupdate server on the LAN for when you are inside the network, but default to the regular Apple swupdate server when you are outside, and the first one isn't available. For those who don't even want to try the simple defaults command, there is always Software Update Enabler - works a treat!

Ifthe SUS server is not available, it automatically falls back on the Apple server. At least that's what my network does.
10.4: Manually add a Tiger Software Update Server
I'm bummed!! My sample client (eMac running 10.4.9) does NOT fall back to Apple's server if the defined local SUS server is not available. I've tried setting it two different ways (one way at a time) but it fails in both cases. I set the system-wide default, tested, then undid that and tried setting it just for the current user and tested.

I was going to suggest setting up a LAN DNS server and firewall so that when you're on your internal network, your computer sees your SUS as a local machine, but when you're outside of your network it will find it via its public IP. This is how our network is set up and it works very nicely -- for everything from AFP servers to mail servers, and now the Software Update server. |
