[plug] dhcpd problems

[Meryon Montgomery]

I think I had the same problem a while ago setting up a Debian server. I 
got around it by also specificing a dhcp range for the other interface 
(even though I didn't want one) that was only one address wide, eg start 
range at x.x.x.100 to x.x.x.101.  Also had my firewall block any 
attempts for dhcp requests on that second interface too.

Hope this helps, its probably not the right solution but it got the job 
done.
