I don't think so but if you want to educate me on why you believe this
to be true, by all means...

it seems silly to use DHCP and not provide DNS server addresses as all
of the computers on the LAN would probably be well served by using the
same DNS Server

It seems silly to use devices that don't support NFS but SMB/CIFS
protocols are supported easily enough with samba. It should be
