You need to run named, configured to be the primary server
(master) for some made-up domain that you use for your network
and add to your dhcp options and also for the reverse domain
0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA for the number-to-name lookups. You
can probably use webmin to set this up.  Test the setup
with 'dig' which will report the authoritative server
that supplied the answer.
