				| 
 |  
				| Hello, 
 i'm trying to create a static/persistent route.
 kernel is 2.6.33.5-smp.
 
 when i execute the following command or configure the route in the webmin interface, it works perfectly but after a reboot the changes are gone.
 
 route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.250
 
 what is the most efficient way to let this route survive a reboot?
 
 thanks in advance!

				| Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and add your gateway in 
 
 or else you can add your command tin /etc/rc.d/rc.local to run upon boot, I believe webmin do that also for virtual ethernet.

				| hi, 
 thanks for the advice, adding this command in rc.local solved the problem!
 
 the first solution was not an option because the gateway of the SMS server had to remain the same (namely the firewall of the site).
 192.168.1.250 is a Windows RRAS server that performs the routing to other sites.
