At our own entreprise (operator R&D department), we have also DHCP. I do
think that is very common in our IPv4 world.

To my mind, recursive DNS resolver information would be acquired through
uplink access in a SOHO environment (typically through DHCPv6 over PPP).
In a entreprise/university, such information would be configured by
network managers on routers where it is needed, in the same manner as
the configuration of DHCP-relay are configured.
