just use dhcp-server and set /etc/dhcpd.conf something like:

option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.50.3, 192.168.50.6;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 1209600;
max-lease-time 1209600;

subnet 192.168.50.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.50.100 192.168.50.140;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.50.255;
  option routers 192.168.50.201;
  option domain-name "mydomain.com";
  option netbios-node-type 8;
  option netbios-name-servers 192.168.50.1, 192.168.50.2;
}

netbios-name-servers is the "WINS" servers if you have any, remove both
netbios entries if you do not have WINS. the rest should be self
explanitory.
edit /etc/init.d/dhcp and change the setting that allows it to load.

good luck.
