If you already have a router, you should use that to do your dirty work. 
If you mean to say your gated machine is at that address, you will need 
to create a gated configuration file. The web site has a very good set of 
documentation [including sample BGP scripts]

I haven't setup a BGP config file in a while, but I suspect you will need 
a config similar to below. Add more a.b.c.0 lines for each of your class 
C's. Gated is a VAST speed improvement over routed in even point-to-point 
IP connections, just FYI.

interfaces {

interface all passive;

}; 


export proto bgp
{


#	broadcast;
	proto bgp
	{
		 a.b.c.0 metric 1;
	} ;
};
