dhcpd sending unwanted bootp packets



I recently setup a spare box (sasami) to provide some local services
(dns, dhcp, email, squid, etc.) for a home network, as well as acting
as firewall and router.  It's running a fairly minimal woody
installation, except for shorewall 1.4.8.stable-2 which was backported
from sid.

I've configured dhcpd to provide static IPs for all of the permanent
boxes, as well as a pool of dynamic addresses.  This seems to be
working more-or-less as expected... known systems are getting the
proper IPs, and others are being assigned one dynamically. 
Periodically, however, I'm seeing the following entry in my firewall
logs.

   Jan 10 13:49:39 sasami kernel: Shorewall:all2all:REJECT:IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=192.168.0.3 LEN=328 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=16480 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=308

It appears that sasami is trying to send bootp packets to one of the
internal boxes.  As far as I can see, tho, dhcpd is configured for dhcp
only... I've included my dhcpd.conf below.  Do I need to do something
special to turn off bootp?  Or is this normal behaviour, which I should
allow through the firewall?

Thanx!
