i want immediate update to the clients, the problem with SUS is that i have to wait for at least 10mins for the clients to recieve the update.

I doubt you'll get any better granularity than that.

Are you trying to integrate updates into an install? Roll out updates to clients/servers that are already installed?

I use an Altiris RapidDeploy server. I got the latest MDAC patch pushed to ~150 clients in under 5 minutes.
