What's th sytax for addid a static (non default) route via rc.conf?

And while I'm here, how about a sanity check to make certain this is really
what I want to do.

Historicaly, the machine in question has lived on a network with only one
gateway off that net. Now, as part of a transition, I'm changing the
default route to point to a new address, but the old (ex default troute
machine) still is the only way to certain legacy networks.


Is this the best way to handle this?
