You can 'instruct' Outlook to bypass the local server during the Autodiscover process by populating the reg keys mentioned in this article: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2212902" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2212902</a><br />

All you need working for O365 is the HTTP redirect method, you can block everything else.

Yes you can change local DNS, but wouldn;t you need to change DNS back at some stage? If/when you do Autodiscovery will kick in and you will get prompted for credentials as it will be going to incorrect mail server.
