Currently right now I am working in an environment where we are on SCCM 2007, but will be going to 2012 next year. We are in the process of trying to make it so we can build on a secure network that cannot route to any other network. I am prepared to put a DP out on this same network, but the problem I am running into is that during the task sequence starting, it downloads the task sequence from the MP, not the DP as it is not associated with the package. The MP is not on the same un-routable network. We will need to have about 6 or so of these, so we do not want to setup 6 MP because now you are looking at not only 6 primary site licenses, but 6 SQL installs (Our environment will not let me get away with doing SQL express for support reasons) which adds up quickly. Below is a link to exactly what I am speaking about:

What I am wondering is if SCCM 2012 OSD was structured differently in a way that access to the MP is no longer necessary during the task sequence process (say for example the task sequence xml is replicated to DPs too)?
Thanks.
