I run it on a separate machine. I now have it running at about 1/2 of my clients and I'll be deploying it at the others as I get time. I've been using old PC hardware that was on its way out the door anyway for the servers because it doesn't require much to run and that way it doesn't cost a bundle to set up. You can direct the stored updates to any location on the network you wish. By default it will locate the drive with the most free space and set up a folder for the updates there. The deployment while paper is well written and worth the read.

And would this fit for both In the DMZ and internal networks in a back to back setup? I would like to think that having a separate Machine to monitor for SUS would be a good idea that way you can sever publish it and make your update Machine even more secure.

I just discovered this today in the welcome screen for my SUS (System Update Services). "Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS) now provides Windows service packs (SPs), in addition to critical and security updates. SUS will deliver Windows XP SP1, Windows 2000 SP4, and all future service packs for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and the Windows Server(tm) 2003 family of products."
