this is very possible, I'm doing it at home right now.
get dhcpd, (not dhcpcd), either as the preferred package for your
distribution or as source (it's trivial to build).
There are, if I recall, example configuration files that are trivial to
modify to suit your network with the source package, you will be at the
mercy of the package maintainer for documentation if you go that route.
basically something like this:
option domain-name "mynet.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.11.1;
option routers 192.168.11.1;
max-lease-time 86400;
default-lease-time 86400;
subnet 192.168.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.11.100 192.16811.250;
}
