If he wants his DNS/DHCP server connected to the outside internet, I would recommend he get two ethernet cards, eth0 and eth1, then configure dnsmasq to only serve on only the local interface. Note that this doesn't require any DNS-specific configurations. It is inherently simple and secure. > Perhaps he has an internal WiKi. I can go on with internal servers that > need name resolution.

Nowhere do you say why the complexity of BIND is necessary. He would be served very well (no pun intended) with a far simpler DNS implementation.
