The Motorola Netopia® DNS Proxy feature allows the LAN-side IP address of the Gateway
to be used for proxying DNS requests from hosts on the LAN to the DNS Ser vers config-
ured in the gateway. This is accomplished by having the Gateway's LAN address handed
out as the “DNS Ser ver” to the DHCP clients on the LAN.
