i have a linksys wrt54gl that is connecting the server with one of the computer with cable. the other computers are connecting via wireless on the same linksys.

i installed dhcp and is configured to handle static ip based on mac address on every computer in my house.
for bind i have an acl list named allow like this:

acl "allow" {
        127.0.0.0/8;
        192.168.0.0/24;
};

then configure bind to list only on those interfaces

 listen-on { allow; };

now allow the bind to resolve domains

allow-recursion { allow; };

if you want i can post all configs also for nat,dhcp. for bind i didn't do anything else.

For only four computers, you might want to think about Dnsmasq too - real basic configuration, includes DNS caching.
