What I do not like about the Pi is the network port is on the USB bus and thus limited to USB speeds.??
Pretty much all of the ARM boards have their ethernet ports on HSIC channels (480mbit/sec, no-transceiver-phy USB for on-board use - maximum length is 10cm).
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. -- Bryan G. Seitz
