Does DNS work with DHCP?

Can anyone help with this?
I have a small network with 3 machines win98.abc,co, win95.abc.co and
Linux.abc.co.  The Linux box acts as both the DNS nameserver and DHCP
server.  I can ping win98 from win95 and vicerversa using just their
names.  However I can not ping either from the Linux box using their
names and nslookup does not know them.

Is all as it should be?

Is their a mechanism to enable BIND to act as a nameserver for addresses
allocated by DHCP?

TIA

Peter
