When you configure your local server you put that information into
/etc/dhcpd.conf.
Run "man dhcpd.conf" for the gruesome details, but you'd be better starting
with the various network HowTos. (http://www.tldp.org)

That's not what I meant - sorry for the ambiguity.
You just have to make sure that YOU are not running
a dhcp server on that interface. I guess from your comments that you
are not running one at all, so it should be no problem. If you later decide
to start a dhcp server you will discover that it likes to listen on
all appropriate local interfaces, so that is when you might need that trick.
In fact dhcpd can often tell that it does not need to listen on certain
interfaces so it might never be a problem, depending on your specific
configuration.
It may well be that I have just confused you unnecessarily.
