Config Manager 2012 R2 Windows Updates For Internet Based Clients?
Can you configure Internet Based Clients to only collect approvals from and send status to your Update point, but actually download the update installer files from Microsoft's servers so external laptops don't waste your company bandwidth downloading Windows Updates?

The default behavior for Internet clients is that their first try to download the content of the software updates is via Microsoft Update. When that fails it will look at the Internet facing distribution point.

Do Internet Based Clients detect when they are brought onto the local network and  automatically switch to downloading from the internal distribution point when on the LAN?

If they were configured as Internet only then no. If they were configured as Internet or Intranet then yes as that's the whole point of configuring them this way.
