Basically, no.  Use external utilities to solve whatever the
problem is.  I'd suggest that if you might have compromised
machines on your own LAN which are answering in place of your
real DHCP server, you have rather big problems to solve, and
you'd be best involving a network administrator with a good
understanding of security issues.
