[CentOS] Network routing

First, some light reading:
http://lartc.org/howto/

Secondly, take a look at how RedHat/CentOS uses network startup scripts:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/en-US/Reference_Guide/pt-network-services-reference.html

Thirdly, READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT.  Seriously.  Not kidding.
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.93.29.EL/sysconfig.txt

... paying close attention to this section:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name>


You cannot configure a RedHat/CentOS box with more than one *default*  
route in it's basic networking configuration.  You can, however,  
create two custom routing tables, create different default routes on  
THOSE tables, then use "ip rule" and IPTABLES mangling to tell packets  
where to go.  See the above documents for reference.

Ken
