Guest network & DNS

Question

Guest network & DNS

Is it possible to have the guest network use a different DNS than the regular network? I use Open DNS and their content filters on my network but I have one computer I'd like to have no restrictions from Open DNS on. Is it possible to do this? I was thinking let the guest network use my ISP DNS and the regular network use OpenDNS.

The AirPort Extreme and other dual band AirPort routers with Guest Networking capability use the same DNS servers for both the "main" and "guest" networks. AirPort Utility does not have any provisions to set up the different networks with separate DNS server settings.

You might want to let Apple know if you would like to have this "feature" available.
