Thanks for your help Michael. After looking up "stanza" in the dictionary, I looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd and near the top it lists /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd as a source file. So I changed DHCPDARGS= to DHCPDARGS=eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd and the system has stopped causing the problem. Also, in /var/log/messages the restart shows it's only listening and sending on eth1, whereas with "DHCPDARGS=" /var/log/messages reported dhcpd listening AND sending on both eth0 and eth1. It's been back on line for a day and no one from the network has yelled at me, so I guess that fixed it.
