There are two ways to approach this...
1) Start dhcpd specifying the interface(s) you want it to work with on
the command line - it will ignore all others.
dhcpd -q eth0
In this example -q is quiet and dhcpd monitors only eth0.
2) Put an empty subnet declaration for your other network - no range or
other statements in that subnet declaration. This method will allow the
normal dhcpd startup scripts to work unmodified and has the benefit that
if your network changes later you only update dhcpd.conf and go - you
won't have to remember to also change the startup script.
subnet 10.74.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
This declares a subnet but with no range dhcpd will not respond to
requests yet your default startup scripts will work ok.
Hope this helps.
