> You don't, really. You can (usually) change the DNS resolver your provided router uses to an internal IP, then statically assign that IP to your pi-hole.

This is totally right, and that is how I have my network configured. I have a firewall behind a dumb cable modem, and I set the DNS server for the network on that device. When machines configure w/ DHCP, they get assigned the router's address for dns resolution, which then delegates to the pi-hole. That's all specific to my hardware though.
