[ILUG] SuSE 9.0 Yast will not keep route

[Chris Boyd]

Unfortunetly we use terminal services over the 169.254.0.0 range. 
I'm trying to configure YaST to set the default gateway over that range as 10.133.1.1. 
ie:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.133.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
10.133.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
169.254.0.0     10.133.1.1      255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         10.133.6.12     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Whenever I restart network the route is there but it shows the gw as 0.0.0.0? It's also set that way in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes:

169.254.0.0 10.133.1.1 255.255.0.0 eth-id-00:11:43:37:83:92
default 10.133.6.12 - -
~

...even so when restarting network it reverts back to the 0.0.0.0 default gateway for 169.254.0.0 

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.133.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
10.133.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0      255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         10.133.6.12     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Any ideas why YaST will not hold the gateway?
