if your server IP is inside the scope then you need to add it to the scope exclusions (or make your scope 101 to 199 (easiest way is to select "Address Pool" in DHCP dialog then right click and select "new exclusion range..." and add .100 as an exclusion - that way you don't need to delete/reapply the scope.

I would always tend to allocate static IPs from OUTSIDE the scope but it's neither right nor wrong - more a case of how you want to do it. Outside is neater though.

Setting the DNS server in your IPconfig is recommended. Additionally, within "Scope Options" you can define 003 (a router or gateway IP), 006 (a DNS server) so that DHCP clients will get given the correct info but you've prob already done this.
