To me this is strictly not a sucurity problem but a network
infrastructure problem.

Do you have a domain controller?

I would think that setting up a proxy server on the domain controller,
which I assume also is your gateway to the internet, and then pointing
all computers on your LAN to use the proxy would solve most, if not all
your problems. That way any software updates re downloaded once and then
available to all the other computers.
