To conserve bandwidth and simplify management these critical network
services can be handled by a server based solution which negates the need
for external resolution.
And I will go out on a limb and say that in any corporate environment you
should centralize these kinds of apps.
Particularly Antivirus. Symantec (not playing favorites, just picking one)
Corp can gather updates and push them down to clients with much more
expediency than say 300 clients all fighting for bandwidth to download the
same files.
Since the OP did not mention any issues with other services, but does
mention that proxies are set up, it may be safe to initially assume that
they have these bases covered.
