That looks like about as good as you can hope to get it without
additional software and expense.
We currently use a program called Softcast (From Netsurf) for our set-up
and it has the capacity to receive changes and updates on the user machines.
It requires a Softcast server to be set-up by the ISP (we had one but never
used it, so it got retask). Other than that I don't know much about it but
may try to learn a bit about it if time permits.
