Ok, so /etc/netstart.local is how have the 'route' command automatically run on boot. Thanks, David.

Out of curiousity, is there some resource that documents this (I've never heard of /etc/netstart.local before)? If so, what is it, and if not, then should there be a manpage for it (or a mention in route's manpage, or something)?? Up until now I had just used /etc/rc.local for it because I never knew of any other resource.
