What software are you using from this. There are multiple DNS and DCHP
servers. I asume bot are isc. It would be helpfull if you provided
more information. (i.e. what are your settings and such)

I don't know a answer to the DNS issue. As for the static ip address
with DHCP. (lol)... You must make sure the address is not in any range.
The following example is out of my dhcpd.conf file:

subnet 192.168.31.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.31.255;
        option routers 192.168.31.2;
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.31.2;
        option domain-name "domain.org";

        range 192.168.31.128 192.168.31.255;
}

host alex {
        hardware ethernet 01:02:03:04:05:06;
        fixed-address 192.168.31.64;
}
