In your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 What is the BOOTPROTO ? If it is dhcp then the answer to your question is your dhcp "server". The files in /var/lib/dhclient contain the information of you lease that is served up by the dhcp server. FWIW, that file would also contain dhcp-server-identifier which would tell you what system issued the lease.
