Thanks for your replies guys! Since the last TAUG meeting I've set up a test box with pfSense. I've had few unexplainable problems with DD-WRT in last few months so I'm most likely going to make a switch over the long weekend. I checked pfSense list of features and it does support NAT Reflection, however it has a limitation of 500 ports for the port forwarding range: "NAT Reflection limitations - NAT reflection can only be used with port ranges less than 500 ports and cannot be used with 1:1 NAT hosts." This will be a problem with the Port 10000-20000 forwarding.
I don't see an ability to set up an internal DNS server with pfSense.
