Is it possible to control what updates a client will install, but have them be downloaded from Microsoft?

Question

We have many smaller sites that are connected to our MPLS network on low bandwidth links such as 2 - 4 Mbps. There is not enough infrastructure there to support a DP site server.  Is there a way to tell the client what Windows Updates to install, but
have that client download from Microsoft rather than a DP? 
Part of the problem is that the DP for those clients will have the files, so most of the options I see on the specify download settings of this deployment page of the wizard, do not seem to work for me.  I see where I can tell the client to use Microsoft
Updates if the updates are not found on distribution point. But they will be found because they will be there for clients that use it with higher bandwidth. 
Is branch cache ( or allow clients to share content I guess ) my only option?
Thanks

Answer 1

Ok, keep in mind that this stuff is not tested, not documented, and not supported:
Under "SELECT * FROM SMS_SCI_Component WHERE ComponentName = ' SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER ' AND SiteCode = 'CEN'"
Property is:
HostBinariesOnMicrosoftUpdate
Undocumented, untested, but normally untested stuff works well for ConfigMgr! Flag is propbably translated to this WSUS feature:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.updateservices.administration.iupdateserverconfiguration.hostbinariesonmicrosoftupdate(v=vs.85).aspx
So try setting it to 1 and have a go?
