Give the routes a name, then put those in rc.conf or rc.conf.local static_routes="lab admin etc" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). route_lab="172.28.64.1" route_admin="172.28.64.2" route_etc="172.28.64.3" To figure this out for yourself, you could have looked in /etc/rc* files for references to static_routes and then read what it does. You'd find it in rc.network: # Set up any static routes. This should be done before router discovery. if [ "x${static_routes}" != "x" ]; then for i in ${static_routes}; do eval route_args=\$route_${i} route add ${route_args} done fi -- HOW DO PEOPLE IN LOVE TYPICALLY BEHAVE?
