Bump anyone?

Extremely strange behaviour.  I have had the WSUSPOOL stopped on our
upstream WSUS server to prevent SCCM clients from directly connecting to
this server.
However, once I restart the Application Pool in IIS, within 2hrs I have
over 400 [out of 10k clients] redirecting themselves almost immediately
from the downstream to the upstream server.
This cannot be policy-driven, as most likely the policies have yet to run.
Is there a potential that a setting exists within the registry to include
the fallback WSUS, which for some reason, is pointing to the upstream
server?
