I started to say that DNS has nothing to do with DHCP. And in one respect, that is a correct statement.

And you would be right...it doesn't have anything to do with DHCP. DNS can work fine without DHCP. However, the DNS server IP can be a configuration option provided by a DHCP server to a DHCP client.

DHCP is the protocol for providing an IP address to a client that does not have a static IP address. But, it CAN provide other configuration services.

DHCP doesn't provide any services other than the DHCP service, and only provides configuration options that can potentially be used by a DHCP client. I would state this differently:

DHCP is a service that can provide IP Network configuration information to a DHCP Client device. The configuration information can then be used by the device to automatically configure its network interface.

Except, DHCP provides more than an IP address, WHEN NEEDED.
