Tim,

That wiki page is exactly what I was looking for.  After reading about
this complex process, I feel more inclined to simply provide a "How To"
and/or a BASH script to setup a DNS/DHCP server on a default Ubuntu
system.

I should point out that there is a nice script at the bottom of that
wiki page, which would make the process much easier.  However, it
appears that the process only changes which packages are installed, and
it doesn't allow other types of customization (unless I wanted to create
new packages).
