Sweetness. I'll definately be looking forward to that update. (I'm
assuming it'll be a paid update) I'm sure many people (ISPs, mostly) will
welcome the ability to restrict the use of their servers to their
customers. I've got logs that show that I provide a lot of DNS service to
machines (workstations, NOT other DNS servers) outside of my IP range, and
it's just too darn hard to try and filter out these types of requests at my
router.

Can you give any other sweet teasers at what new features we'll be blessed
with?
