Best method to configure WSUS on a fleet of vessels

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to configure WSUS on a fleet of circa 20 vessels.  They all have sub 512k connections, the central WSUS server has about 35gb wsus content and the DB is about 1.1gb.

I could justify replicating the DB but definitely not the content.

I was wondering what the best method for getting the content on the vessel?  is there any way to preload it?

all running server 2003 Wsus 3.0 sp1

Thank you

DJ
