You just need to add the interface to the command line when launching 
dhcpd.  From the dhcpd man page:

The  names of the network interfaces on which dhcpd should listen for 
broadcasts may  be  specified  on  the  command 
line.   This  should  be  done  on  systems where dhcpd is unable to 
identify non-broadcast  interfaces,  but  should not  be  required on other 
systems.  If no interface names are specified on the command line dhcpd 
will identify  all network  interfaces which are up, elimininating 
non-broad- cast interfaces if possible, and listen  for  DHCP  broad- casts 
on each interface.
