My issue was that I did not want my eth0 (INET) to reply to hosts on my ISPs network, but I constructed a simulation inside my LAN and figured out that if I dont make any range options or so then DHCPD will tell the host that there are no more leases, then I figure the host will take another ACK from another DHCP.
Read some logs and saw that there had not been any leases to eth0...

dhclient.leases(5) File Formats Manual dhclient.leases(5)
NAME
dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database
DESCRIPTION
The Internet Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid. The data-
base is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease. If more than one declaration appears for a given lease, the
last one in the file is used. The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrance.
The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).
FILES
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases
