Simply configuring the second ethernet interface with the IP information
is adequate. No DNS services are needed if you always use the IP
address to reach the interface. Otherwise, if you want to reach this
interface/ip from another system using a hostname, you'll need to add an
entry to the remote system's /etc/hosts file or to the DNS server. It
is perfectly fine to use private IPs in scripts and programs.
If they're all Macs, then you don't need to do even that; just plug them
in to the same hub and they'll all assign themselves link-local
addresses and use Bonjour to discover each other.
You can add zeroconf (Bonjour's standards name) services to Linux
machines and they can play too:

Windows can play too:
