Would it be possible to configure the DNS so that in each of the locations a
particular name (eg. "WSUSServer") resolves to the local WSUS server?

This won't work if all three share a domain, however if they are all in
separate subdomains, something along the lines of office1.yourdomain.local,
office2.yourdomain.local etc. then it should do (since the travelling user
would receive the DNS suffix from DHCP, and so "WSUSServer" should resolve as
"WSUSServer.officeX.yourdomain.local" and would be specific to the particular
office).
