Router implementation

Hi

I'm trying to implement a router with RH7.3
Network configuration on the installation process, I tick DHCP option for
eth0(WAN side).
For eth1(LAN side), I untick DHCP option and set is as:

IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Network: 192.168.0.0
Broadcast: 192.168.0.255

But how can I point eth0 as Gateway since I use DHCP or can I just leave it
blank?
Also can I leave DNS blank since DHCP gives me the information for that?

Thanks for your help

put your ISP's DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
