I have looked at adding static routes for a couple of our servers. With
RH8 it seems that 'static-routes' is looked at by /etc/init.d/network.
But it only seems to be used for non interface-specific routes. As the
code shows:
# Add non interface-specific static-routes.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then
grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args
; do
/sbin/route add -$args
done
fi
If the line in the file begins with the word 'any' then the rest of the
line is passed to 'route add -'. From what you've said I assume this is
different from what it was in RH7.
In our case I have had to manually add the static routes - which are
interface-specific because we have multihomed servers - directly into
the /etc/init.d/network file. Not ideal but it vaguely works for now.
John.
