In my experience dnsmasq is much better suited for this kind of setup:

1. install it (and get rid of bind and isc-dhcp-server)
2. list your hosts in /etc/hosts
3. configure the simplest DHCP network in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
4. Enjoy :)

At step 3. you might need to set up static leases for your machines as 
well, but I'm not sure...

Kind regards,
