I do not know this program... Is this daemon running on the Mac clients? I'm 
assuming it is.

Find out if it does have to run as root. It is a Bad Thing(TM) generally to 
have things run as root. It is very likely that it can run as it's own user.

Many programs, Mac or Windows, will ignore the system set proxy setting. They 
often have to have a proxy set for them. For example, Firefox only recently 
gained the ability to use the system's proxy setting in Windows (Added in 
Firefox 3.6, or something not all that too long ago). Check to see if this 
program has it's own proxy settings... if it even has them.
