The following is not a solution, just an observation. If all of your
"other" interfaces are outside the IP ranges configured in DHCP server
configuration, then upon restart DHCP server will still ignore them and
will not respond to any DHCP requests coming to these interfaces. This is
as far as I remember how ISC DHCP server works (am I outdated?).
So, I've got the following questions: do any of your other interfaces fall
inside one of your DHCP ranges? Please, show all
range dynamic-bootp x.x.x.x y.y.y.y;
lines from your /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf file; and give list of all IP
addresses your network interfaces have. Do you indeed observe on the
interface outside your "range dynamic-bootp " responses from your ISC DHCP
server to DHCP requests? If yes, this will be fair grounds for bug report
IMHO.
