Ok, so turning the question around, why do you need your own DHCP server on Linux. Just use theirs.
We make and sell Linux-based measurement systems. Part of these are diskless VME racks and other computers that boot openSUSE (11.2 made locally in KIWI) via dhcp/tftp. The vlan is a staging area for developing, configuring and testing these systems. The devices are not static. They come and do at a fast rate. They will eventually find themselves in a measurement vehicle where the only server is an openSUSE machine. We require in no uncertain terms that our development and configuration happen in the same way they will be used. We have little interest in making things work in some environment other than the one where things will be used. The real thing is to see why we need the interloper Windows PCs on this network. I would like to see if they could be relocated. They are the machines that brought about the problem!
I've never met a windows box that cared where its IP came from. Or a linux one either.
