You need to create it and configure gated with it. Consult the gated documentation, which is in the source archive, the man page, or perhaps it was installed in /usr/share/ somewhere. One of my UNIX books has an extended discussion of it, either O'Reilly's 'TCP/IP Network Administration' or 'UNIX System Administration Handbook', but I'm not near them at the moment so I'm not sure offhand.
