The 'route' output

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

Here is my 'route' output:

 $ route 
 Kernel IP routing table
 Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
 192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
 link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
 default         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

and I have two questions, 

- I haven't seen the "link-local" entry before. What's that?
  Where can I read more about it?

- The last line, the "default" line, will take a while to show up,
  abut 2 or 3 seconds. where is the delay comes from? 

FYI, I'm using a local DNS caching server: 

 $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
 # for interface eth0
 search local
 nameserver 192.168.0.100
 nameserver 192.168.0.1

Please help. 

Thanks
