Do wireless routers do DNS caching?

Do routers do DNS caching, or is this something only browsers and individual clients do?

A quick web search seems to indicate that at least some routers do a simple form of DNS caching under the term "DNS relay."

To find out whether a particular one does, it would be best to check the docs/specs from the manufacturer.
