Ok, I found this information in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.42/sysconfig.txt /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name> Contains lines that are arguments to "/sbin/ip route add" For example: 192.168.2.0/24 dev ppp0 adds a network route to the 192.168.2.0 network through ppp0. So, I would have the following in route-eth0: 10.0.0.0/8 via 10.10.0.254 dev eth0 (I have many 10.x.0.0 subnets) 192.168.0.0/16 via 10.10.0.254 dev eth0 (I have more than one 192.168.x.0 subnet) Ok, maybe my routes above are too simple because I don't want 10.10.0.0/16 traffic to try to exit via the 10.10.0.254 gateway. Would I necessarily need to make a route for every subnet on my network (20 subnets), or could I just add the following before the above two, assuming that the routing table is read from the top downward? (Thank goodness I didn't set up the routers for this network...I would have everything messed up!) 10.10.0.0/16 dev eth0
