Sorry for continously replying to my self but I've yet more information: 
actually if I bypass the dhcpd3-server start script in /etc/init.d and 
just issue:

bash:#  dhcpd3 -q eth1

I immediately get the following to syslog:

Mar  8 19:16:27 server dhcpd: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.3

Mar  8 19:16:27 server dhcpd: Multiple interfaces match the same shared 
network: lan eth1
Mar  8 19:16:27 server dhcpd: Bind socket to interface: No such device

Note that I only pass one interface, eth1, to dhcpd3, but somehow it 
fetches the old 'lan' interface somewhere.

anybody know more on how dhcpd3 works?

thanks, juhis
