yeah DNS would only be helpfull if you have tons of pc's, otherwise, just add the few pc's to your /etc/hosts file. Also, its just one more daemon you wouldnt want running unless you need it. I wouldnt even want dhcpd unless you have alot of pc's or new pc's are gonna be coming on your network temporarily, i.e. laptops.
is your staff still gonna be running on windows boxes? if they are then just set up an ftp server with their own directories and disable anonymous logins, and have a share directory for everyone to put stuff in. That way they can just share files through Internet Explorer.
No every one will be on RedHat, and yes the consoltents are the out bound staff that will be coming into the office to sync their data with the mysql DB. Just the call center staff is in the office. All RedHat I dont mind setting static IP's
If you want 192.168.0.1 to remain the DNS server then you must run Bind (DNS Server for Linux/Unix). That way every name lookup would go through 192.168.0.1, just like it is now. A book I would recommend is DNS & Bind by Oreilly. If money is a concern, I'm sure there is a howto on the web.
No dont buy a book. Every book on linux is out of date by the time it hits store shelves. Just read the documentation available on whatever package your using, and when you have specific questions post them here. I still dont know why you would want to run bind, though you should run dhcpd considering you have people coming on to your network. Dont waste your money man.
