If the guides available on the internet aren't working for you, then you should read through the man pages for dhcpd and named.conf. Also these sites have some good links to information.

I'm especially fond of DNSMasq for DNS/DHCP server. For my small network, it does wonderful a job of linking the two functions.
It's in Repos... Here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq) is a help page
