Problems with DHCP using VLANs

The standard /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf was there, as was
/etc/default/dhcpd3-server .  The 'default' script had an INTERFACES=
line, as did the dhcpd.conf, and the one in the 'default' script was
taking precedent somehow.  That was the only info in that script, so I
just deleted it and took out the reference to it in
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server .

Is it possible in future versions to put some kind of syslog output
that says what interfaces dhcpd is listening on?  If I had seen output
like that, I would have known what to look for. . . as it was there
was no sign that that was anything wrong with the configs until
Simon's comment. . .

Thanks,

Tim
