  | You can add the 'route add' commands to /etc/netstart.local

It is truly sad that we're still recommending that as a solution.

Or rc.local which someone else suggested (netstart.local is the better
suggestion of the two, it gets run at the right time, rc.local is
likely to be too late).

static routes can also be added in ! lines in /etc/ifconfig.XXn files,
which tends to make them associate better with the interface they're to
be used on (and not applied if that interface is missing for some reason).

But it really would be nicer if there was a nicer, more standardised, way to
add routes apart from the default route.
