On some multihomed hosts, it works.  On some it doesn't.  No existing
IP stack provides a documented interface that allows user programs to
determine which interface a request came in on, so unless your host
supports NIT or BPF, dhcpd can only support a single interface.

The Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server has its own mailing list,
which is a more appropriate venue for discussions specific to our
server.   You can subscribe at http://www.fugue.com/dhcp.   I would be
happy to work with you on this.
