The real man page you want is route(8). What you put in your static
routes in rc.conf are the parameters to a 'route add' command. For
example, if you want to write
# route add foo bar
you'll put something like this in your rc.conf:
static_routes="foo loopback"
route_foo="foo bar"
route_loopback="${hostname} 127.1"
This will cause rc.network to execute the commands
route add foo bar"
route add ${hostname} 127.1
