DNS tab

At this tab you can specify DNS resolution strategy. It can be

Local
- that means all queries to DNS is passed to your DNS server
Local then via proxy
- WideCap will catch where available DNS queries. Due to architecture of Winsock's namespace providers subsystem there's no guarantee that Winsock will use WideCap's pseudo address in case if another provider returns real address.

You also can specify the local DNS cache for the program. It might be useful in cases if you wish to map some hostname or even whole subdomain to specified address.
For example map updates*.microsoft.com to address of your local gateway. Format is simple

somewhere.com=192.168.0.1
updates*.microsoft.com=10.0.0.2

So, if program will try to resolve hostnames that matches with yours it'll get this IP addresses.
