I'm not sure what kind of impact you are thinking about, but by adding a DNS resolver, the VS that acts as the SOCKS proxy will know where to direct the connection to when it receives a destination based on a FQDN. It allows you to add different DNS servers for different domains. This can be useful when resolving to internal zones that reside on specific internal networks and extranets.
