WSUS Server 2003

I am attempting to implement WSUS on our network, we are not connected to the
internet but reading the documentation regarding "Distributing Updates on an
Isolated Segment" it seems you can download the updates and hand carry them
to the disconnected servers running WSUS by exporting and importing updates.
Does the initial computer receiving the updates need to be a WSUS server i.e
server 2003 or can a XP pro machine receive these updates?
