Beaglebone has gigabit mac, but due some errata it is not used in gigabit mode, it is 100M (which is maybe enough for small office). But it is "hardware" mac. Another hardware MAC on inexpensive board it is Odroid-C1. But stability of all this boards in heavy networking use is under question, i didn't tested them yet intensively for same purpose.

The BeagleBone Black uses flash memory to hold the system image which allows it to boot quickly. I'm running Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 and it seems stable.

You also have to watch out for issues with the Pi corrupting SD cards. On 19 Feb 2015 01:04, "Geoff Mulligan" <nanog08@mulligan.org> wrote:
I have used the BeagleBone to run a few simple servers. I don't know if the ethernet port on the Bone is on the USB bus. It is slightly more expensive than a PI, but they have worked well for me.

For any site where you would use a Pi as the DNS cache, it won't be an issue. DNS isn't that heavy at those query rates.
Yeah, it would be awesome if they'd been able to get a SoC that included ethernet.

What I do not like about the Pi is the network port is on the USB bus and thus limited to USB speeds.
