Here is what works on my FC3 machines. Your mileage may vary with FC5.
- Add the static route to "/etc/sysconfig/static-routes"
The syntax is a little funky, so here is one of my entries:
any: net 172.16.0.0 gw 192.168.51.3 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev eth2
If you take a look at "man route" and "/etc/init.d/network", it'll help
you understand the syntax. Basically, the init script is just grepping
through the static-routes file for any line that begins with the word
"any". Then it chops off the word "any" (as well as the colon following
it), prepends the word "add", and passes the modified line as arguments
to the route command.
I hope that was helpful,
