fedora, dhcpd fails to start

Question

History: I got a tiny shiny plugserver which I want to plug to my ADSL router (or however you want to call it) on one end (eth0), and the other end (eth1) I want to run a dhcp server for my LAN. ATM I am stuck with getting LAN to work. OS is fedora 12. I configured my /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf like this:

#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
#   see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#   see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'
#

option domain-name "unknown.org";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.44.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.44.255;

default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 172800;

subnet 192.168.44.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
host fedorabigbox
{
        hardware ethernet 00:19:66:8E:61:74;
        fixed-address 192.168.44.21;
}

#host mobile
#{
#       hardware ethernet ***;
#       fixed-address 192.168.44.22;
#}

        range 192.168.44.100 192.168.44.110;
        option routers 192.168.44.1;
}

# this is just dummy, as read many howtos, some suggesting to add a subnet blah netmask blah for each interface
subnet 192.168.33.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
        range 192.168.33.100 192.168.33.110;
        option routers 192.168.33.1;
}

But the server fails to start when trying to start it via /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

In general it would be nice if someone can point me to a in detail explanation of how network works, I am pretty new to this stuff.

More concrete question: How to point the subnets to eth1 and the other to eth0, how can this be achieved?

Does someone see any errors or flaws? Syntax should be correct, allready checked that with the dhcpd syntax check.

Thanks for any help

I can show you the config I have for my Fedora "router"/firewall. I am running Fedora 14 (recently upgraded from Fedora 13) It has 2 ether net cards (eth0 and eth1). eth0 is internal network (10.0.0.x) eth1 is external network connected to my cable operator. My "router" has internal address 10.0.0.3 I have replace names and made some info generic. Replace with your particular info where needed.

option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.3, <external-dns1-ip>, <external-dns2-ip>;
# Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
# (add your comments here) 

option domain-name "net.home";

group {
host pc1 {
    fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
    hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
    }
host pc2 {
    fixed-address 10.0.0.4;
    hardware ethernet yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy;
    }
# Canon Pixma iP5200R
host printer1 {
    hardware ethernet zz:zz:zz:zz:zz:zz;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.12;
    }
# Wireless IP camera
host ipcamera {
    hardware ethernet ww:ww:ww:ww:ww:ww;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.15;
    }
}


 # home.net
 subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
authoritative;
range 10.0.0.20 10.0.0.100;
