Still having Win2k3 Server issues

I've got a working DHCP server. I need DNS to work. I need just to be able to make ONE domain (www.bcx3.local) that everyone on the 50+ computer network can use. The domain will go to a Linux Apache cluster on the network (4 Apache servers in a cluster to handle load + one MySQL server). This server WILL NOT SEE THE INTERNET. I don't need it to DNS the world, or forward queries or anything, I just want a local DNS server to make one or two domains so people don't have to remember the Apache load balancer's IP address. So instead of 10.10.10.105/bcx3 for the site, they can use www.bcx3.local/index.php Much simpler yes? PLEASE HELP SOMEONE >_<
 
Do the 50 computers need to be able to resolve external names? If not, just configure the DNS server as a root server by creating a . zone (the name of the zone is a single period). Then configure the bcx3.local zone.
 
So I should only need the DNS and DHCP roles installed, no AD or anything like that to make just a server to give out IP's, and hold the website address.
 
No AD isn't needed if that's all you want to do. And if you need to setup an LDAP store for the website, you can use ADAM, which is basically a very lightweight version of AD.
 
No need for LDAP. I run a Zimbra Collaboration server here at home, and while I thought the email setup would be nice where I would need either a self database store or an LDAP/AD system (it can use either), but I just decided to outfit the servers with Help Center Live with access to the gamers.
 
I don't know about you, but shoving this one entry into 50+ computers (i have not been enformed of this college wide project exact number yet. I'm looking at as few as 20, and as much as 230 users on this network.) It would take a LONG time to get this entry into that many systems ranging from Win2k to WinVista Ultimate.
