169.254.0.0/16 is reserved address space for "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses" -- see RFC 3927. I'm sure you know all this, as you wouldn't have any other reason to be using addresses from that range. Basically it's an IPv4 equivalent to the IPv6 rtadv/rtsol thing. The addresses from that range are non-routable, similarly to the RFC 1918 private ranges, but that's just a convention for RFC1918, and I can see there is special code to handle RFC 3927 eg in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2009-September/009999.html Are you using avahi-autoipd ?
