I've organized my Active Directory into various OUs, and one of them is
called Remote Users.

If I create a GPO for this OU and check the Block Policy Inheritance
checkbox, would this mean that the computers in the Remote Users OU would be
excluded from the sitewide Password Policy rules as defined in the Default
Domain Policy?

I'm just trying to figure out someway around this restriction... as most of
you probably know salesmen are hard enough to deal with on a day-to-day basis
without giving them yet another task to do. (And yeah, it should be easy
enough but you should see some of the calls I get sometimes, heh.)
