169.254/16 in route table

[Marcelo Medici <gaucho@ericps.crc.uiuc.edu>]

I am a bit confused as to why I am seeing this network in my routing
table. I am familiar with this net being used as a test net and have seen
it pop up in Windows clients failing to receive a response to a dhcp
request, but I was surprised to see it under my Linux machine.
I am running ISC's dhcp server to hand out ip addresses to only two
clients. One linux, one windows. Both linux machines are running redhat
with the latest samba rpm from redhat.

Thank you.
