Debian Edu installs and activate pdns-recursor, yes.

Testing seem to indicate that this work. Thank for the tip. I guess
this should be mentioned in the documentation.

Perhaps test if external DNS work with the DNS server fetched from
DHCP if it fail when trying directly. Should be possible to do in the
installer.
Redirecting the answer to debian-edu@, to make all developers aware of
this option.
Happy hacking,
