dhcp reservation, apache and virtual hosts

hello everybody!,

My present configuration include a dhcp and 2 hosts. one of them is a server 
apache running 2 virtual hosts and is now configured static.

gentoo linux:
192.168.1.250 -> pc-srv1.localarea.local -> dhcp + dns
dyn -> pc-dyna.localarea.local
192.168.1.252 -> pc-www1.localarea.local -> apache (www.vhost1.local, 
www.vhost2.local)

- how can I configure dhcp, in order to switch the apache host to the dhcp pool 
(even as fixed-address), considering the virtualhost zones? now my static dns 
entries are configured with CNAMEs and different zones but it is not clear to me 
how let dhcp manage them on behalf of the dns server.
- was it a viable solution, when possible, for a small LAN or was it better to 
keep all the servers static?

thanks,
Stefano
