Re: How to limit DHCP server address assignment to a single network card?

It will only give out addresses on the Nic that is in the same subnet as the
scope. Whether is listens on other nics is completely irrelevant if there is no
matching scope. The exception to that is when you use DHCP Relay on a LAN
Router,...but then the Router includes information in the relay so that the DHCP
Server knows what subnet the query is based on. However it still won't return
anything unless there is a matching scope for the target subnet.

Anyway, what you are looking for is in the DHCP MMC,

Right-click on the Servername
Choose Properties
Choose Advanced Tab
Choose the Bindings Button
Select active interfaces

Summary:
I would like to be able to limit the interface that a DHCP server on a multi
homed machine listens on to just one of the multiple adapters.

After much Googling, I'm still looking for a solution to this.

More detailed:
I have a multi homed computer on several subnets. I only want the DHCP server
running on the box to listen for and respond to DHCP requests on a single
network card. Any requests on other network cards should be ignored. The DHCP
service should only be bound to the one network card.

Greatful for any help.
