DHCPD, Multiple interfaces, Single Subnet

I have an OpenBSD 3.7 firewall with five network interfaces on it, one of which is connected to the Internet. I'd like to use the remaining four interfaces as a network switch for a single internal subnet. The main problem I have is that the DHCP daemon doesn't like multiple interfaces matching the same subnet. I've tried bridging the internal interfaces and running dhcpd on the bridge, but it gives the same error.

Any ideas, anyone? Smilie
