Agreed the long pole at a small site for DNS won't be the USB bus. Might I recommend the following: odroid-c1 + eMMC module + RTC battery + case + power adapter. Should run you about $75 *AND* wouldn't be bad for running NTP as well. The gig-e port on the C1 has been observed to push 405Mbps TX and 940Mbps+ RX via iperf. -- Bryan G. Seitz
