On the other end, if you already run a webserver, you coudl add a bind9
server as a secondary domain name server. It runs fine with Apache or
nginx running a web interface : http://www.afn.org/~afn23397/
or Webmin (in the Debian rep but fat) See
http://www.debianadmin.com/bind-dns-server-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tools.html
In that case, you wouldn't need anithung else than DHCP clients.
