All computers downloading from the WSUS machine is the same as all computers downloading from each other. Even when there are two or three hubs and switches between WSUS and its clients, WSUS is still more efficient than DO. After all, DO relies on a server on the Internet, in which case, there are definitely many, many, many more intervening hubs, switches, and routers. And while DO can download from LAN peers, most of the times, it does not. By the way, I install Feature Updates on my own terms. Not even WSUS is allowed to download them."

This can be a subnet, a domain, DHCP Options (since 2004, 20H2), etc.
I would be interested if you can revisit 2004 ADMX DO settings.
