What it currently is:

defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

Set it to something new:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://updates.updateserver.com:8088/index.sucatalog

Set it back to Apple:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
