using DHCP for IP assignment (including DNS server assignment).

using dnsmasq instead of the default DHCPD daemon (for local hostname resolution on my lan).

My setup is probably different than your's so substitute settings where needed. If the edgerouter goes down, the internet will be down anyway so it's a non-issue. In doing this, I reduce the need for extra hardware and remove a point of failure. I have since moved to Adguard Home and offloaded this task to my Ubiquiti Edgerouter X. Running it this way creates another point of failure, if the Pi goes down so does access to the internet.

My pihole ran on a seperate Raspberry Pi board but I never liked this solution, keeping the Pi running just to act as a DNS resolver and blocker. I used to run a pihole on my home network but recently moved to Adguard Home for simplicity.
