Ever since I installed pihole and configured it with my 3200acm linksys router my syslog is filled with
Code:
DD-WRT daemon.warn dnsmasq[5827]: Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)
What options can be taken to either increase the number of max queries or fix this issue? Can SmartDNS Resolver help in this situation ?
What do you have set for Forced DNS Redirection? This cannot be set to true when pi-hole is in the same DNS zone and you are forwarding DNS traffic through the dd-wrt router.

I have Forced DNS Redirection set to off.
It does sound like it's a recursive issue; do you have pi-hole DNS forwarding to the router or an internet DNS servers like Google or similar?
The usual way is to set up DHCP on pi-hole and forward its traffic directly to a DNS server that isn't the router. Alternatively, you run the DHCP server on the dd-wrt router and forward to DNS pi-hole internally and then pi-hole to an internet DNS server(s). The latter is how I have it set up in my own system via a firewall with round-robin DNS over HTTPS outside the internal private zone of dd-wrt.

There are actually three different methods explained in that URL, so which of these three methods have you used and the IP address of pi-hole & the router and DNS IP addresses, please?
My own setup is method 1.
pi-hole IP is 192.168.2.48 router at IP is 192.168.2.1 DNS on router points to DNS on pi-hole at 192.168.2.48 and pi-hole points to 192.168.200.1 (to my firewall upstream that does DNS over HTTPS to upstream internet DNS servers).
