[TriLUG] link-local network question

I have a RedHat 9.0 box which configures it's network card via DHCP from a 
firewall.  This works great, but I need the system to default to a 
"link-local" (169.???.???.???) address if DHCP fails.  Then if "link-local" 
fails, then set address to default to a static address (like 192.168.1.1).

Anybody ever try this on a IPv4 network?

Thanks
Charles Fischer
