Supporting both ICAP and Symantec protocol with Protection Engine

  • 1.  Supporting both ICAP and Symantec protocol with Protection Engine

    Hi.

    I am upgrading a product that formerly required the Symantec protocol to talk to Protection Engine, but in the new release it only supports ICAP. I will be rolling the upgrade through both test and pre-production environments, but I don't want to switch the Protection Engine from Symantec native protocol to ICAP because that would leave my existing systems with no antivirus protection. Is there a way for the Protection Engine to support both protocols at the same time on different ports?

    The only thing I came up with was to install a second instance of Protection Engine, in a different folder on the server, and configure the second instance for ICAP. The obvious downside is the need to keep both installations updated with definitions.

    Thanks
