DNS/DHCP/Router for RN104
Since the RN104 has 2 nics....
How about a "router" add in with a nice interface -- Netgear already has routers -- why not give a ReadyNAS the ability to do more?
Right now, I use an AirPort Extreme to do my internet routing and well, it's functional, but not great. For one, I get no name resolution in DNS from my Windows and Linux clients, since most of them don't speak mDNS, which is all the AirPort will do.
I'd like to see a DNS/DHCP server that will serve addresses for its DHCP client, and an interface into Linux IPTables and uPNP support.
Seems like it would be an in-demand feature, and could even be supported on an RN102 with the addition of a USB NIC.
Thoughts?

- There are some DNS server and relay apps available.

But nothing meeting all your requests. - Yeah, I saw that. Seems that a company like NetGear, who has been making routers for a couple decades now, would have a router package for this.
