that's what I said.

"Whether your PC uses the routers DNS proxy depends on if you've got your primary DNS nameserver set to the IP of your router"

If your PC(or other TCP/IP device) has it's own DNS servers specified(and the adresses are not that of your router), then your router will play no part in DNS resolution at all.
