It sounds like you are connecting your DHCP to the net. If your ISP has 
not taken preventative steps this can cause a lot of problems for them. 
I would primarily suggest that you separate your internal network from 
your ISP's network via a SOHO/Linux/BSD router. If this is not possible, 
or practical, you should set your DHCP server to allocate addresses only 
to known hosts...

In your subnet/pool stanza, define 'deny unknown-clients;'. Then, 
manually define each host that should be receiving an IP from your DHCP 
server. man dhcpd.conf for examples and specifics.
