No, the DHCP protocol takes care of differentiating between different clients requesting information at the same time. The packets contain a transactional identifier that takes care of avoiding responding to the wrong client. On the other hand, make sure you only ever have a single DHCP server on the same network. There are some links to useful resources on DHCP protocol over on http://networkboot.org/.
