I've always hacked my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and added "permanent" routes that way, but I've known that was a hack... you lose the route if you do a "service network restart" and that shouldn't happen.
I knew their should be an easy way to add a permanent route and there is. For Red Hat type installs add a file as such: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 The route in the file should be of the form: 192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.2 This is the equivalent to putting a route statement in: route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.2 dev eth0 Now when I do a network restart, my static routes come up just dandy! for more info: http://www.akadia.com/services/redhat_static_routes.html Jon Carnes Trilug: where sometimes the "T" stands for "Trivia!" -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
