It's that lease file parsing bug again. Just tested your conf file here with a new patch and dhcpd is starting up correctly. Building now. This will go out as dhcp-4.0.0-5.fc9. Thanks.

I have almost same problem but with dhcp-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386 dhcpd fails to start on start-up, but starts manually just fine after all interfaces are up.

My problem was because of NetworkManager and it's actually Bug #486372
