When you set up a static route, you are really telling the Linux box where the
next hop is must send packets to reach its destination. This next hop is a
router (or such) that must exist on your network.
In your scenario, your Linux box must send the packets to the 108.62.62.137
address. Once the packets get there, the router must also know a route to
forward the data. The router can also have a static route or use a dynamic
routing protocol like OSPF.
Simply use the 108.62.62.137 as your gateway.
Best of luck.
