Bind DHCP to a specific ip

Hi,

most (if not all?) linux distros will have dhcpd listening on all
interfaces by default - after all, how do the distro folk know
your chosen network interface connections?  ;-)

dhcpd can be given an interface on the daemon command line to
make it listen to a particular interface..... but most distros
also have their own way of doing things so that you dont need to
play with the daemon init scripts.... eg redhat/centos/fedora
use /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd   - where you can define the interface.
