AFAIK, no!

Definately.  What effect might this have on routes appearing?

I'm guessing as soon as eth0 comes up, although I could be wrong.  I
make this assumption because I fix the routes with route del... and then
as soon as I run ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0, the routes come back.

I had a look in here and the only place it seems to get routes from
(about line 146) is: 
# Add non interface-specific static-routes.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then
   grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do
             /sbin/route add -$args
   done
fi    

and yes, /etc/sysconfig/static-routes is empty!

Ok I tried this, but it didn't tell me much else.  At the beginning of
/etc/rc.d/init.d/S10network I put:
route -n > /var/log/pre-route.dump
which, after a reboot contains (as I expected):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

and nothing else.  At the end I put:
route -n > /var/log/post-route.dump
which, after a reboot, contains (as I expected):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

Thanks for your help, now how would you analyze this?
