DNS and DHCP are relatively lightweight, so the main question is how 
much traffic you expect the web server to handle.  If you're going to 
handle less than 100K hits per day (approx 1 hit per second), you're 
only going to need something like a Pentium-100 grade machine with 32MB 
of RAM.

If you generate dynamic content rather than serving up static HTML, 
your workload and requirements will go up quite a bit, since dynamic 
websites generally involve some combination of a database and Perl, 
Python, or some other scripting language...
