I assumed it was something windozy that would make me roll my eyes.
I noticed that one of my machines also has this.. it seems that if your default route interface has more than one "sub-if" it just keeps re-added the default route.. bug?
Try placing the line
NOZEROCONF='yes'
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
That didn't seem to make any difference. I couldn't find it in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.14/sysconfig.txt and google seemed to be obscure on the topic.

Secondly, why do I have _three_ default routes? (The IP is right) Iin /etc/hosts
set this up with redhat-config-network (including the 10... alias). The
default routes appear every time I do an ifup.
comment out any duplicate lines, so that only one of each remains.
That didn't seem to do anything either. I still have three default routes and I still have the useless 169.254.0.0 entry.

Also: I have to delete _all_ three default routes, and then add one again (as opposed to deleting just two) or networking doesn't work...
Thanks for your help so far,
