dhcpd will not start from the sysv init scripts if you do not declare a 
subnet for each interface in the machine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a machine with two network adapters on different subnets
2. Use linuxconf to create an ip range for one of the subnets
3. Save dhcp configuration and exit linuxconf
4. Try to restart the dhcp damon with /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd restart
5. dhcpd will not start.
	

Actual Results:  The script returned this error message:
Starting dhcpd: Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server 2.0

This is intentional behaviour on the part of the dhcpcd authors. Argue with
them... :)
