You are correct Andy. This is documented in MS's Policies
and Profiles White Paper. The "Default User (network)"
locally cached copy is used. If the central default profile
is updated then the cahced copy is updated as well using the
standard time stamp comparison that user profiles do.
Hope this helps,
