There is (I do it at home), but it can only be limited by physical
interface.  Virtual interfaces are only distinguished by IP addresses.
Since DHCP discover requests are broadcast out on the ethernet and
aren't tied to an IP address, the DHCP server will always receive them
on the physical interface, not on a sub-interface.
