It's not a fault or a bug, that's quite normal for a lot of routers. All it means is that the SH is acting as your DNS server (that IS the IP of your SH - go ahead and navigate to
http://192.168.0.1 if you want. The SH will have its own DNS cache, which theoerically will speed up your network a tad. If you have 3 computers and one looks up facebook.com, the SH will go look it up for you and then cache the result. So when PC's 2 and 3 go to look it up, rather then going to the .com nameservers and then facebook's nameservers to get the same IP as PC 1 found, the superhub just returns it directly.
It's normal and if it was a fault, you wouldn't get lag because of it, you'd get absolutely no web connections at all because you wouldn't be able to look up any domains.
DNS doesn't cause lag, not in game anyway because DNS is specifically for the resolving of domain names and nothing else.
