Can you post the output of ifconfig? Are you able to ping, or otherwise communicate with, hosts on your LAN (this may require setting up a temporary static IP on a LAN host in the subnet 192.168.0.0/24).
It is curious that changing an option setting affects your ability to acquire an IP. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by 'I cant get IP from the DHCP server'? In cases like this, it is helpful to be very clear about what DHCP server & client is being described. Your 'netserver' is both a DHCP server and client. The rest of the DHCP clients will be on your LAN, and the other DHCP server of interest is on the WAN/ISP side of the router (netserver).
To proceed, I think we need to establish that the LAN side ethernet interface is up and has valid networking parameters associated with it.
I agree that the broadcast-address option should be as gezley describes. I also wonder whether you really want 'option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.100;'. This would tell your LAN clients that your router is their nameserver, and I assume you don't have that set up (at least not yet, and I don't imagine you'd want to). It is probably a good idea to look in /etc/resolv.conf, and see what your ISP says should be used as a nameserver(s). Put this in the domain-name-server option.

I got it!

I feel pretty stupid right now... Ive found the problem. I completely forgot to specify the IP of eth1 in the inet1.conf file... thats why dhcpd was complaining about no IP to deal with... now everything is working perfectly, I can access the web from all the clients on the lan side.

Thanks to all who helped me!
