If it's a Linux host, you can certainly run a variety of DNS and DHCP servers to do this. dnsmasq is probably the simplest integrated solution.
Again, in Linux, you can actually use iptables to expose the host-only network to the external interface(s) - I did this once when I had problems getting bridged mode working for a time. Then you can use any of a number of external options. Or, change to bridged mode - and then again, any external option will work. Probably the simplest choice. -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
