I've had dhcpd running on 2.1.x kernels with multiple NICs. I can't remember
which version it was - all I payed attention to was the SO_BINDTODEVICE code
in the kernel, and I let someone else muck about with the dhcpd itself.

Robert, what dhcpd were we using last summer, and do you remember how much
evil hackery was required to get it to play nicely with multiple interfaces?
ISTR not much, and most of our hacks were DHCP-over-ARCnet related.
