Add Persistent Static Route in Centos 5

Question

What is the proper way to add a static route in Centos 5 that will persist rebooting?

I tired adding an route-eth0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that contains a route , but after ./etc/init.d/network restart that route is not present and there were no errors during the restart of the service.

There are many version of Centos 5.....Is this a problem in Centos 5.6? — mdpc, Jul 11 '11 at 16:47

That's indeed the right place to add it (if the route is actually reachable via eth0), as documented here:

Wrong interface, so the destination gateway was not reachable via that interface. – Kyle Brandt Jul 11 '11 at 16:48
