Hello, and thank you for your reply.

While it's not /exactly/ what I was looking for - it's close. :)
The "filtering" capability is my biggest gripe on the Cisco
*DSL products. They're just not as /capable/ as is offered in
FBSD. DNS is another plus (pfDNS). But I don't think I'd be
modify pfDNS to accomodate BIND, or unbound. Although tinydns
might be able to fit the bill. Oh well, it's close - thanks
for the pointer. :)

--Chris
