For each route you want to add, put a name in the static routes list in
rc.conf, followed by a route_<name> line for each, like this:

static_routes="net1 net2 host1"
route_net1="-net 158.96.87.64/26 158.96.243.1"
route_net2="-net 224.0.0.0/8 158.96.243.1"
route_host1="158.96.243.12 158.96.243.7"

You can learn more by looking at /etc/rc.network and seeing how it's
actually done...
