Does DYN have any plans to implement schedules for Internet Guide? Ie. Blocks certain sites between 6A and 3P on a daily basis?

You'd have to ask Dyn directly about that - this being primarily a user to user forum.

Such a schedule feature would be reliable in no way due to the way current operating systems maintain caches. Both, local resolver cache and browser cache will simply ignore any (scheduled or otherwise) settings changes for a longer or shorter time.

That said, it's not worth to think about such a feature. They also had to distribute a program (e.g. included in the Update Client) flushing the caches every time the settings change. So this is not really a feasible approach.
