Let me restate to make more clear.

When starting dhcpd at boot time the rc.conf contains dhcpd_iface="rl0" 
and dhcp is limited to the rl0 interface as desired.

But when restarting using "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd restart" 
command, all interfaces on the host get included, not just rl0.

This is because the statements in rc.conf are not being reread when 
using this restart command systax.

So I am thinking there must be some way to code the interface name in 
the dhcpd.conf itself. I read the man pages and could not find anything 
along this line.

So I am asking here, is there a dhcpd.conf statement for defining the 
interface to use? If so, what is it?
