The correct solution to get rid of it is to add the line:

NOZEROCONF=yes

to ALL interface config files. That means in ifcfg-eth0 AND ifcfg-lo AND 
 for any other interfaces you have. Doing this prevents the route from 
being set, and I've verified it on my RHL9 system. This is because ifup 
sets it for every interface.
