Make the rogue DHCP server send the "priority" setting should do the trick even
if it does not answers first.

This might be used as a workaround, but as James stated, you should do the
testing part on a network you are in full control of. Howewer, if you choose to
not follow this advice, make sure your server is configured as "not
authoritative", failing to do so will make your DHCP server denying leases
offered by the regular DHCP server.
