Regarding the DHCP part:

On Rapid we added dnsmasq as an the dns/dhcp server (not installed by
default). This is also what we use in our office. It is very simple to
use. If you enble in /etc/dnsmasq.conf "read-ethers" then making a
reservation is as simple as adding an entry to /etc/ethers (and you can
use host names from /etc/hosts in /etc/ethers, keeping the IPs to
/etc/hosts alone). 

So I hearlt recommend dnsmasq (version 2).
Don't waste time on trying to set up bind and ISC-dhcpd :-)
