what does this mean exactly?

as in the link above described we setup the router to forward dns-requests to the pi-hole. with the dhcp thing i am sure all more advanced or professional networks won't/can't rely on pi-hole as the dhcp-server.

edit: are you talking about method2 in this link? [How do I configure my devices to use Pi-hole as their DNS server?](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245)
