Can the MX4 or MX5 support the use of the DS18B20?

Both!
They both support dallas one-wire devices. It's the LCDC software that adds support for the newer DS18B20 sensor. You'll need to
download the latest version of LCDC.
Waterproof?

NO! Im almost 100% certain they are not, not the traditional sensors anyway. Not unless MO have a new product?

Unfortunately, the temperature sensors we sell are not waterproof unless the customer has modified them to do so. By this, I mean a type epoxy applied. The disadvantage of this is that your results may be slightly skewed.
