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.
