How did they provide DNS services to their clients then? Or they bootstrapped you (via DHCP[v6], PPP's IP[6]CP or whatever they use to set up your IP layer) with public nameserver addresses like OpenDNS or Google Public DNS?

I believe I heard somewhere desktop Windows' resolver won't work iteratively and requires a nameserver capable of recursion. Although I may be mistaken on this matter.

I didn't mean they didn't provide a DNS resolver. I just meant that they weren't capable.
