This is a new to RH9 and it has to do with Zeroconf
http://www.zeroconf.org/ , zero configuration ip addressing like
connection two laptops together with a cross over cable. "without
needing a man in a white lab coat to set it all up for you" as they say
on their site. 


It can be turned off by adding 

NOZEROCONF=yes

to any of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files.. 

ifcfg-eth0 for instance.
