You should be defining your parameters inside a subnet context.  Here's
what part of my dhcpd.conf looks like:

%%%
subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.40;
	option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
	option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
	option routers 192.168.1.1;
	option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
	option domain-name private;
}
%%%

The 0.0.0.0 subnet is for an interface which I use for PPPoE, and the
192.168.1.0 subnet is for a private network.  On the private network
there are 20 dynamicly assigned addresses.

More details are available in the dhcpd.conf(5) manual.
