DNS Proxy: After activating the DNS proxy mode, the client can set its DNS server to the DFL-1500 (that is, send the
DNS requests to the DFL-1500). The DFL-1500 will then make the enquiry to the DNS server and return the result to the

DHCP broadcast to the configured DHCP server. As the following Figure 4-3 described, DFL-1 redirects the DHCP
