 Yes, of course. You should delete _all_ interface=.. lines. Furthermore 
 it doesnt make sense to include lo interface, because lo is only the 
 server himself and there runs the dhcp service. The server should know 
 his IP-adresses ;-)

 This is the opposite option of interface=..
 Here you can explicitly exclude interfaces from _DHCP_ service (not DNS 
 service!). Thes can be senseful in some cases.
