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.

I have it set up with pihole is attached to the router and the router uses the pihole as a dns server, I followed the guide on how to install it here https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245

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).

What about the first static IP address on the router {pihole address} 192.168.1.13 and leave the rest at 0's.

I fixed this issue by setting the dns-forward-max to a higher number thus resolving the problem, here is what it looks like now
Code:
no-resolv
server=192.168.1.12
cache-size=2048
log-async=5
#strict-order
dns-forward-max=5096
min-cache-ttl=300
dhcp-option=6,192.168.1.12
