        Just configure a DHCP reservation for that client (MAC address). Within the reservation (or static mapping) specify the openDNS server. The static mapping will trump the DHCP scope if values are populated.

        Services --> DHCP Server --> Select interface --> at bottom select Add+ under the heading "DHCP Static Mappings for this Interface" --> Then enter the clients MAC address, and specify the DNS settings which would only apply to that specific client.
