Hi bakunin,
Thanks for your explanation.
Which brings me to think that DGPickett's idea was the best option: "Add a firewall".
So that I can just refuse any incoming request from unknown hosts.
I'll try and figure that out with the system administrator.
Regards
Santiago

I have two items, only related because they are both regarding dhcpd.
First of all, I keep seeing dhcpd responding to DHCPREQUESTs on eth1 which is my cable modem. For example:

Hi there,
I setup a dhcp server on a debian.
It is designed to only assign ip addresses to a list of known hosts.
The config file looks like :

ARNO-IPTABLES-FIREWALL(8) ARNO-IPTABLES-FIREWALL(8)
NAME
arno-iptables-firewall - Single- & multi-homed firewall script with DSL/ADSL support.
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall [start|stop|status|force-reload|restart]
DESCRIPTION
arno-iptables-firewall is an iptables configuration script with support for both IPv4 & IPv6. While it is extremely easy to use one can
nevertheless use it in quite complicated environments.
All available options are explained in the extensively documented configuration file.
The external interface of the system needs to be set up properly in the firewalls configuration file (EXT_IF). The default behavior of the
firewall is to deny all incoming connections.
For additional requirements not covered by the configuration file custom iptables rules can be placed in /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/cus-
tom-rules. This file is automatically parsed by the service script.
See the README file (eg. in /usr/(local/)share/doc/arno-iptables-firewall) for an example how to manage logging of firewall events through
syslogd.
The arno-fwfilter script can be used to make the firewall logs more readable for humans (see manpage).
Several plugins for the firewall script are available online. Plugins can be downloaded from http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/ Please see the
README file for more information.

/etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall system service script

wall.conf
