Well,
     you could avoid a full proxy based firewall, you just need to ensure
you use a split DNS configuration with appropriately crafted PF rules to
ensure all DNS traffic must go through your DNS proxy.  That doesn't
preclude you from letting other traffic in/out without proxying.  Of course,
you might still want to use a proxy based firewall in any case :-)

A DNS proxy will pass the IP over DNS packets just fine, back and forth.
There could be half a dozen named's linked together as "forwarders" and
it will still work.
