I agree; most of the documentation for dhcpd is pretty esoteric. I'm 
guessing you just need a dhcpd.conf file that looks like this:

option ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name "mydomain.org";

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;
  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
}

Mind you, this is just off the top of my head. See dhcpd.conf(5) to 
figure out how to correct my syntax errors ;)
