Hi,
In addition, you probably want to start dhcpd like:
dhcpd eth1
or whichever adapter that is exposed to your local lan. And update your 
init scripts/config to use this parameter.
at this point you have to just fiddle, load sample configurations from 
google searches see what people have done
with their dhcpd setups.
good luck,
pavel
