as a rule, you should declare ALL subnets in simple form:

so ISC DHCP knows about them. Why, I do not know, but it is supposed to be in newer versions (more strict rules for config file.)
Thanks for your response. As far as I can see, my dhcpd.conf satisfies these conditions.
But what puzzles me is, what defines the correspondence between interface and network, eg in my case eth1 -> 192.168.2.0/24
Surely this should be there independently of dhcpd ?
Dhcpd shouldn't care about the name of the interface, but if the request hasn't been forwarded by a router/relay agent it needs to figure out the subnet of the interface where the request is received so it uses the corresponding range and options for the response.
