Home gateways are typically not recursive resolvers. They're usually just
translators for non-recursive DNS query/responses. Some have forwarding
servers. There might be some that are recursive resolvers, but there are
lot of good reasons not to put one there, starting with the fact that some
service providers have a nasty habit of running split horizon at their
authoritative resolving servers, and you lose all their lovely additional
differentiating wonderfulness if you bypass their fancy special
star-bellied nameservers and go straight to the root yourself.
