Found the answer on the isc-dhcp-server mailing list.

Say you want the server to run on rl1 with IP 10.0.0.1,
then add to your dhcpd.conf file:

    local-address 10.0.0.1;

and start the dhcpd server as you did before.

The port 67 will then bind only to 10.0.0.1.

See also the man pages of dhcpd.

You raised a good point; I've modified my dhcpd.conf file accordingly!

Cheers,
Rob.
