Home Network: Separate DNS settings per device?

$

0
Currently have a Huawei HG659 - having no issues setting global DNS settings for the entire home network. I use OpenDNS which works pretty well for content filtering (kids in the house).

What I want is to have one specific device use different DNS servers from the rest of the home network. The device is a Roku. My current router doesn't seem to have this ability (i.e. set DNS by mac address or by IP for example). Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm not super keen on having to go down the route of alternative router firmware... but will if I have to. A google search tells me I'd need firmware (tomato or dd-wrt) that supports a service called "dnsmasq". And if this turns out to be the only solution I believe I would need to buy a new router. (again please correct me if I'm wrong).

Any recommendations on a solution?
