[SLUG] DHCP or BIND

I've never really untangled DNS for myself, but I'm working on
understanding it right now. One question comes up that I don't seem to
have an answer for. I know there's a dhcpcd, which grabs an IP address
from a nameserver. And I know there's BIND, which serves up IP
addresses. I thought there was a DHCP server daemon as well, which
would perform the function of serving up IP addresses on small networks.
Is that not the case, or do I need to run BIND to hand out IP addresses?
