Not sure about the NTP stuff (but I imagine it's similar).

But the DNS stuff ...

1. 'ip dns server' simply specifies what list of DNS servers the
   control plane should use. Similarly 'ip domain lookup' asks the
   control plane to do DNS lookups when appropriate.

2. I don't know of a way to turn a Cisco router into a DNS server.

3. If you want to tell the Cisco DHCP server to tell clients what DNS
   servers to use (and which NTP servers to use), you'll need to
   configure that when you configure an 'ip dhcp pool XXX'. See :-
	http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2/ip/configuration/guide/fipr_c/
1cfdhcp.html
	(there might be a more appropriate version; I simply scanned
	the first search result that wasn't NXOS)
