One of my friends used tcpdump or the like to figure out where the updates come from, and once that is known things get easy. Once you have the update file, grabbed via ftp, you can put it onto the workstations anyway you like. I think he has the file in some readonly publicly available spot, and some mechanism to copy the file down to the client whenever a newer one shows up. I can ask for more details if you like.
