let me first say, that's an odd address range to be handing out via dhcp, looks like the Windows network Autoconfigure range.
why don't you install ipcalc and let it help you figure out your subnets ?
Code:
it-etch:/etc/network# ipcalc 169.254.9.7 255.255.224.0
Address: 169.254.9.7 10101001.11111110.000 01001.00000111
Netmask: 255.255.224.0 = 19 11111111.11111111.111 00000.00000000
Wildcard: 0.0.31.255 00000000.00000000.000 11111.11111111
=>
Network: 169.254.0.0/19 10101001.11111110.000 00000.00000000
HostMin: 169.254.0.1 10101001.11111110.000 00000.00000001
HostMax: 169.254.31.254 10101001.11111110.000 11111.11111110
Broadcast: 169.254.31.255 10101001.11111110.000 11111.11111111
Hosts/Net: 8190 Class B, APIPA
So the correct network settings would be
Quote:
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;
authorative;
subnet 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.224.0 {
range 169.254.9.10 169.254.9.17;
option subnet-mask 255.255.224.0;
option broadcast-address 169.254.31.255;
}

You really should be using an Address range from the 'private' or 'non-routable' ranges for a home network imho..

Quote:
Private Address Space
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
