Here is the part <code>/etc/init.d/interfaces</code> code: <code> # Add non interface-specific static-routes. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do /sbin/route add -$args done fi </code> Looks like <b>any</b> must be at the beginning of each line in <code>/etc/sysconfig/static-routes</code>. At the same time Fedora is able to determine interface name packet should be routed through (like eth1) by destination IP. :) Thanks for the tip, daveg!

Here is the part /etc/init.d/interfaces code:


# Add non interface-specific static-routes.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then
grep “^any” /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do
/sbin/route add -$args
done
fi

Looks like any must be at the beginning of each line in /etc/sysconfig/static-routes. At the same time Fedora is able to determine interface name packet should be routed through (like eth1) by destination IP. :)

So the above route would like this like in the static-routes file: any net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.1 Where <strong>any</strong> is specified above you can also set specific interfaces (such as eth1).
