Actually you should be able to disable IPv6 in the /etc/sysconfig/network file:
networking_ipv6 = no
Ah, thanks. Most of the sysconfig files are commented and have several default settings specified, unfortunately the network file doesn't belong to these. I did it with modprobe.conf and that works, I'm going to change it to this method.

zeroconf is what puts the 169.254.0.0 route in your routing table. Look at netstat -rn to see it.
Oh, I see, I know the concept but I wasn't aware that it's activated by default and called "zeroconf". I assume this is new with 2.6 kernels, I've never worked with 2.6 kernels before installing CentOS. I don't need that, gonna remove it.
