Is it possible to have a route stick in the kernel, even if device it points to goes to roller coaster up and down drive. For example. I have an ADSL modem and am doing VPN over it. There's a route needed for VPN added like this: ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1 There are two problems with it: a) if ADSL link is down when above command is executed, the route command will fail (ppp0 is down, so there's no 1.2.3.4) b) if ADSL link is up when above command is executed, but it goes down (and up again) later, the route is removed from kernel routing tables So, if there are any problems with ADSL link, I need to manually reset my VPN setup. I could write some monitoring script (and call it from cron) that would check if route is present and attempt to readd it if needed, but I'd rather be able to have the route either sticky (not removed when interface goes down) or automatically reenabled by the kernel when interface goes up again.
