Tim gave some good advice and I was really pressed for time and wanted
to reply because you weren't getting good answers.
No - you don't need bind to run unless you want to provide DNS services.
You really need to understand networking basics...i.e. TCP/IP. One you
understand network address, broadcast address, subnet mask stuff, DHCP
is pretty easy. If you don't understand that stuff, you really don't
want to run a DHCP or BIND server and would be better off buying a
router type of appliance that will do that for you.
