Yeah, that option is rather misleading as it only applies when webmin starts
dhcpd directly, not through redhat's init script. What really needs to be done
is to take it out of the module config page and put it on one of the other forms.
The code could then update the /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file so that redhat's init
scripts use the right interface, as well as the module config so that when webmin
starts dhcpd directly it adds the right interface to the command as well.
