Why use DHCP and why have DNS, when you only have three hosts?
Set up a static network, and put everything into /etc/hosts
files. There just is no need to be more complicated. Even with
three or four times as many hosts, a home network simply doesn't
need anything more.

I have 9 hosts on my network, and use DHCP only for connections
to a wireless access point. I do that only because it is
occasionally made available to others, and for non-geek users of
MS Windows is is just plain easier to provide them with DHCP.
