Synchronize with an offline WSUS Server

Hello,

I've installed WSUS Offline on a Workstation and I've download update for Windows 7 and Office 2010 from Microsoft's servers. It works fine :-)
But is it possible to download updates from an offline WSUS server ?
We have an offline WSUS Server which is updated with a media which is generated from an online WSUS Server. We download update from Microsoft's Server, we export it on media and import it from media on offline server.
So we are interesting to update Workstation from an internal and isolated LAN with WSUS Offline. Can we configure WSUS Offline for synchronize with an internal WSUS Server instead Microsoft's Server ?
Thank's for your help

Gilles

You can surely enter your WSUS server in UpdateGenerator. It is the option in the lower right of the configuration dialog.

But it won't work completely offline: The WSUS catalog file wsusscn2.cab and all other statically defined links are still downloaded from the Microsoft servers. These are all links from the StaticDownloadLinks-*.txt files in the wsusoffline/static directory.

Only dynamic links, which are extracted from the catalog file wsusscn2.cab, can be redirected to a WSUS server.
