Bypassing default router DNS

I've set up my router to point to the OpenDNS servers and clicked the box to force all clients to use these router supplied settings. This works perfectly for the devices the kids are using but I would like to be able to override this setting and define different DNS servers based on IP/MAC for my own devices. Is there any way to configure the router to allow this?.

For any future travellers this way... The answer seems to be here:
Forum thread: Forced DNS Exceptions

Basically, turn off the "Force Clients To Use Router DNS Servers" option, but block Port 53, for the clients you want to restrict.

Seems to work.
