Author strange route in RH9

Hi,

In redhat9 in file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
there is a line (at bottom), which sets
a route to 169.254.0.0/16 !

What is this good for ??

This route is in fact set on my machine
after having powered on.

Thanks Boris

Thanks ! Windows becomes stranger and
stranger to me... Redhat shouldn't adapt
to such things...
