Hi Matt,
I've tried your advice but I still needs to manually restart the network
service after rebooted my laptop for the route to be loaded. Somehow NM
still "override" the statics routes ...hmmmm. Anyway, thanks for your help.

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,
