Use:

dhcpmon -t

to shut down the dhcp server. There's a recent Mr. KIA that discusses
this kind of switching.

It should have worked. You should have used iptrace to figure out what
was wrong with your configuration.

FWIW, I regularly use a static IP to my internal router at the same time
as I have a PPP connection up and running with a customer. All that's
needed is to tweak the routing after the PPP connection sets itself up and
restore want the PPP setup deleted.
