I am.
first of all, you have to make sure that yiur firewall (if you are
using one) doesn't block the DHCP broadcasts.
Secondly,
to use dhcp (or pump) you must issue the command like so:
dhcpcd -h <your hostname here>
I use: dhcpcd -h cx358876-c
it generally takes a couple of minutes, but then it comes right up.
some of the startuo scripts may have thissetup (but knowing redhat
I rather doubt it).
If this doesn't work for you, then I'm at a loss.

There aren't any records in the hosts file of the private nic. Nice
thought though.. I'm on bind 8. This is the first time I've ever ran a
DNS server with two NIC's in it so I don't know if there are any special
setup's I need to be aware of or if this is something that's not done very
often and may still be a bug..
