Setting permanent routes on Debian

[Kfir Lavi]

Hi Eli,
1. You can use a script as stated here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=41191

2. Try to write the line like this:
post-up "route add -host x.x.x.x gw 10.0.1.1 dev eth0:1"
or
post-up "/sbin/route add -host x.x.x.x gw 10.0.1.1 dev eth0:1"

Regards,
Kfir
