closing port 68/udp?

I'm using DHCP but is it possible to close port 68/udp? It's the only port I still have open (when my webserver is off).

Any help would be appreciated!

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 68 -j DROP


if there is a service running using that port (listening), you'll also want to turn if off.
