I agree with the network administrator will NOT be happy, since it is
not an easy task to deal with multiple DHCP servers. Any simple
solution?
Run your DHCP server on a non-standard port; one which is unlikely to be
in use on the network (many standard protocols have a specific port number
reserved for both TCP and UDP but never use UDP).
Or use a separate ethernet interface for your devices and have the DHCP
server bind to that interface.
Apart from the network admin not being happy, your devices may not be
happy if they issue a DHCP request and get multiple, conflicting responses.
