You should use a distribution package, which when installed does all
this automatically. If you're installing it yourself you have to know
how to administer your machine.

It's just the opposite: there'll be no dhcp if you don't explicitly
ask for it. dhcp configuration is cumbersome but dns config is really
simple.
