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.
