[CentOS] Persisting iproute2 routes and rules

I have defined a few routes and rules with:

ip route add ...
ip rule add ...

And now I'd like to persist those so they're loaded when the system boots
up.

I'm doing this by means of calling a specific script from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local but I believe there must be something cleaner than
that, like another existing file.

Thanks in advance,
Diogo

but how do you add

ip rule ...

/etc/syscontfig/network-scripts/rule-ethX
Check out /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes to see exactly how
things are processed.

Sorry, but I can't see how ifup-routes will ever process rule-ethX. A
quick search for "rule" on ifup-routes (on any file in the
network-scripts directory) gets no results.

Hi,

AFAIR, the rule-ethX files (and maybe also route-ethX files) work in
CentOS 5 only. If you're doing that on CentOS 4, I believe the way for
you to load those rules during reboot is adding them to
/etc/rc.local...
