in your dhcpd.conf you can also add this option:

option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

mine is 192.168.1.1 cuz i'm using NAT but you can put whatever address 
in there that you want and as many as you'd like, one line per server.  
Using the cached nameserver is a great idea too, plus it's very easy to 
set up.

Laters and good luck
