Well, I am lazy. For the default route, I just put a gateway entry in
/etc/sysconfig/network, and the default route takes care of itself.
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.22.254
HOSTNAME=slave.Infinity-ltd.com
The route to the gateway is taken care of in my case because it is on
the same subnet as the NIC, and that NIC has a static IP address and
netmask. This system is also running the DHCP server for the network,
so most of the rest of the machines get all the routing info from this
machine.
