Say what? You said you "can not allow Linux to take over DNS for the
network", then you say you want to "set up BIND to work for my penguin
(Linux machine ;-) ), only".
This is a lot of work for what you want done. You should be able to add
your Windows machines' ip addresses to the /etc/hosts file on your linux
box. Then add the linux box and the windows boxes' ip addresses to each
of you windows boxes' hosts file.

You can use lynx to access the DHCP page:
lynx -dump -auth=admin:<password> http://192.168.1.1/DHCP.htm
but the hostnames will be on the popup window when you press the 'DHCP
Clients' button.
