The SUP is a role like any other and can be placed on the site server or any site system. So yes, nothing special here.
What's you motivation for 5 SUPs? A remote stand-alone SUP can support up to 100,000 clients. So, for HA, you really only need 2 per site. Also, if you have 100,000+ clients (as I'm assuming that's the motivation for having multiple primary sites as well as 5 MPs per site), 10 DPs won't cut it. I guess you could just be describing the core and not any remote site systems, but just wanted to point that out.

That's what I want to do: CAS, two primaries Each primary consists of: - Site server - Remote SQL - 5 x MP/SUP/DP The site server should be relieved from processing clients as much as possible, so: - No MP role on the site server but using 5 MP replicas (working). - No SUP rule on site server. I'd like to have WSUS installed on the site server using a DB on that remote SQL-box And all 5 SUPs use that DB and clients only contact those 5 SUPs, but not the site server. Doable? Or do I have to have SUP on the site server? But wouldn't that mean that clients also use that box AND the 5 SUPs? -R
