Depends on your environment and how much work you want to do.  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.
