Maybe ? From the manpage:
The server-identifier statement
server-identifier hostname;
The server-identifier statement can be used to define the
value that is sent in the DHCP Server Identifier option for a given
scope.
The value specified must be an IP address for the DHCP
server, and must be reachable by all clients served by a particular
scope.
The use of the server-identifier statement is not recommended
- the only reason to use it is to force a value other than the
default
value to be sent on occasions where the default value would
be incorrect. The default value is the first IP address associated
with
the physical network interface on which the request arrived.
The usual case where the server-identifier statement needs to
be sent is when a physical interface has more than one IP address,
and
the one being sent by default isn't appropriate for some
or all clients served by that interface. Another common case is when
an
alias is defined for the purpose of having a consistent IP
address for the DHCP server, and it is desired that the clients use
this
IP address when contacting the server.
Supplying a value for the dhcp-server-identifier option is
equivalent to using the server-identifier statement.
