SUS and off-network notebook users: repoint WUpdate somehow?

We have a group policy that points users to our SUS source. However, when
notebook users leave the network and go home, they're not able to connect
to Microsoft's WUpdate source, because of the persistence of the policy.

What's the best practice for resolving this, so that off-network machines
covered by such policies will repoint to Microsoft for updates? The RPC
vulnerability is an obvious reminder that it's not sane to just rely on
"whenever they happen to get back on the network" for updates to be
available.
