You could add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local /sbin/route add -host <IP address> eth0:0 Or, if you wish more control over the process you could create and edit the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/network.local as shown below: #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/network.local # # Define a default (static) route to a gateway # case "$1" in 'start') /etc/route add default <IP Address> ;; 'stop') /etc/route delete default <IP Address> ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start | stop}" ;; esac Set the perms to 755 and create the softlinks in the startup (/etc/rc.d/rc2.d) and the shutdown script directories (/etc/rc.d/rc0.d): % cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d % ln -s ../../init.d/network.local S31network % cd ../rc.d/rc0.d % ln -s ../../init.d/network.local K39network Hope that helps.
