I've read the DNS Howto and I've installed the bind and caching server RPMS.

What I do not understand is how DNS works with DHCP? In short, I have a DHCP server 
running on an Linksys Router. My XP boxes all figure out what their names are over 
netbios and the Linux box is running smbd and nmbd so it broadcasts its name to the XP 
boxes.

However, for the Linux box to be able to get to the XP boxes by name, the local DNS 
server has to somehow ask the DHCP server what's going on, yes?

Does anyone have a pointer to a doc that explains that interaction?
