The only difference between placing it in /etc/sysconfig/static-routes (which does not exist until you create one) and placing it in sysinit is that if you give the service network restart command it will not get run and the route will drop. Sysinit only gets parsed on startup. Also, make sure you test the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes method if you are going to use it. According to the RH documentation that is how it should be done but I don't know if Smoothwall makes any modification to this nor do I know how many versions back in RH it works that way. I tested RH8 and it works perfectly as described. Another way to verify that it looks for this is running:
fgrep static-routes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup* Look through the results and you should see an entry: if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then That is where it checks for your file. In RH8 this is in ifup-aliases but earlier versions of RH might have it in a different script but in that folder under ifup. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

Neither of the two files you mention exist on my smoothwall system, so I added the line at the end of /etc/rc.d/sysinit instead. That would do the trick, wouldn't it?
