The SMCWHSG44-G provides the Host Address Resolution to provide the
local DNS server capability. The Host Address Resolution (local DNS server)
function of SMCWHSG44-G will respond to the DNS request of wireless
clients and reply the requested destination IP address. The benefits for local
DNS server is that there is no Internet traffic (request going out through
WAN port) required for local queries, hence it lowers the Internet traffic.

When the SMCWHSG44-G is in Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection
mode, the NAT server functionality can be enabled or disabled.
You can restrict the maximum number of user traffic sessions by specifying
the Max number of sessions per user setting. In this way, you can prevent a
single user from consuming too many network resources by initiating a large
number of network sessions.
