While this is a good educational exercise it can be a real pain in the
you-know-what to set up and keep running.

For such a simple setup I suggest either DNSMasq (
http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html ) or DNRD (
http://home.attbi.com/~garsh/dnrd/ ).  I prefer DNSMasq since it also
picks up DHCP lease info directly.

If you really want to do this then install the bind RPM's from the CD
and use Webmin to set it up and keep it up to date.  Getting BIND to
work with DHCP can be a real pain too, especialy on a small server
that may be up and down a lot - the db can get hosed real easily.
