Subject: adding persistent routes

It's not a dumb question, but it does belong on another forum (namely
freebsd-questions).

Anyway, look at the route(8) manpage if you haven't already.  Here's the
basic syntax to add a route:

route add target.address.or.network router.address

For example:

route add 10.0.0.0/24 192.168.3.1

Will make 192.168.3.1 the router for 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.254.

There are a few different formats you can use to specify a network, or just
specify a single address if that's all you want.
