You're running the daemon directly, bypassing the init script...

The alternative is to put an appropriate subnet declaration into your
dhcpd.conf and include the following two lines:

not authoritative;
deny booting;

Although it would be better for dhcpd to just not be bound to the
interface in the first place, which you can do by using the init script
provided by your distribution.
