Two ideas:
1) Configure static IPs based on MAC addresses on your DHCP servers so
   they only answer if they have that unit's MAC in their config.
2) Configure your firewalls or similar to block DHCP traffic based on
   MAC address so it can only get to the server you want.

Of course, the best solution is to fix your network.
