Same here. With a MacPro that has two ethernet interfaces there is no problem.
With a small laptop it is working as well, but it takes about two minutes
until it gets its IP address. When there is only one LAN address in DHCPD.CONF
the laptop gets its IP address almost instantly. It is the Multinet DHCP server
that doesn't respond, a TCPDUMP shows the DHCP packets arriving.
