You question and you goals are unclear. You might need to
clarify to get the help you seek, but here's a stab at it:
> I need to add DHCP to existing DNS.
DHCP has nothing directly to do with DNS.
You can add the DHCP server to the same MACHINE running
DNS if you wish.
The only relationship between DHCP and the DNS server are:
1) You can tell the DHCP server to give out the DNS server
configuration to the clients.
2) You can even have the DHCP register the address and client
names with the DNS server.

Then why would you wish to add "private addresses"?

For each separate network or subnetwork you create a new
SCOPE on the DHCP server. The scope has the pool of
addresses for that (sub)network and the associated configuration
settings for those clients.
If the DHCP server is not on the same subnet as that scope
then you must arrange for the client "broadcasts" to reach the
DHCP server:
1) a local DHCP Relay Agent WITH THE CLIENTS
2) all intervening routers must "BootP forward" (or equivalent)
(think of Boot as an older version of DHCP in this context.)
