in "peak season" I expect the array to go upto 5k
entries but very unlikely as I will be transferring
data every minute of only new entries.
ok so the data is pretty simple and predictable - I take it
that the max length of the username is known, this way you can calculate
pretty well how much data you could be send at a time.

Every 2 mins max, usually every min.
that is fairly often :-)
I would not use a webserver based solution - go directly to CLI.
setup a deamon script on your server that listens to a port for an
incoming connection from the remote server -- use a SHA hash token known
only to the client and server script for a means to to do a simple
form of protection (so only the remote server you want can connect and download).
... and pump out binary packed data on request.
(I have never used the pack()/unpack() commands but this seems
like an opportunity for using them)
again just an idea - maybe someone with more experience in this area can
comment as to it's validity.
