[plug] dhcpd problems

[skribe]

Hey folks:

I'm trying to set up dhcpd under Debian.  It can't seem to find my eth1 
however.  I've edited /etc/default/dhcp telling it to use the eth1 interface.  
Unfortunately it is still using the default eth0.

dhcpd -f
Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server 2.0pl5
Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium.

Please contribute if you find this software useful.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/dhcp-contrib.html

No subnet declaration for eth0 (my.ip.address.number).
Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the
network segment to which interface eth0 is attached.
exiting.

ifconfig -a

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr [snip]

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

The server won't start.  It gives me the following error:

/etc/init.d/dhcp start
Starting DHCP server: dhcpd failed to start - check syslog for diagnostics.

There's nothing in the syslog.

Suggestions?
