Or, if you have a split DNS you can have a WSUS server in your DMZ and put 
aliases for your internal WSUS server(s) pointing to the DMZ WSUS server. 
When your clients roam outside your network, they will contact the WSUS 
server in your DMZ and update.  The split DNS lets the clients hit the 
appropriate WSUS server no matter where they are.

Have the DMZ WSUS server be a downstream server on your main internal WSUS 
server so you can get the reporting information to roll up from your DMZ 
to your internal infrastructure.
