If anyone is interested I can provide file examples on this.  I am
currently doing this with my setup.  My linux box asmodean.net has bind
setup on it as a cching server.  I have dhcp setup on it so that my
winblows machine just get an IP addy as well as necessary information for
dns.  also , if you have dhcp setup you do not have to setup bind on your
linux box if you don't want to, why add the extra open port.  Instead you
can specify the dns information of your isp in the dhcp.conf file and that
gets passed to the winblows machine.  no static setup, no static dns
setup, real easy.  If you all want .conf examples let me know.
