It might be reformatting due to the email posting but... Did you proper indent the lines below the iface eth0 ... line?
Also, my post-up lines look similar but I use the ip route add <network> via <router ip> command.
Lastly, I do not understand how your routing is supposed to work. Unless... read on.
Eth0 connects to a network where the host ip number = the network ip number = the network broadcast ip number. This looks like an illegal config.
If you want to tell your system that 192.99.39.254 is also behind eth0 then how is your system supposed to communicate with it? They have no common network address?
Unless....
If they are on the same LAN / line (dial up PPP, etc) and should communicate using layer 2 then the pointopoint config is indeed what you want.
