this is zeroconf doing this.  If you don't want it just remove the tmdns
rpm, which is a multicast dns server.  Most people don't need it as it
only comes into play when a device that's configured to get a dhcp
address doesn't have a dhcp server to get it from and it defaults to the
zeroconf address and the name resolution is done by all of the multicast
dns servers talking to each other.

The question is for how long that network would be around before it falls 
due to the same problem (dclue/dt < 0 on the part of those who run it)
