After booting, the "up route ..." line is not run, as evidenced by
"netstat -r" not showing the route specified.  However, running
"/etc/init.d/networking stop" followed by "/etc/init.d/networking start"
after boot runs the "up route ..." line.  Race condition of some sort,
perhaps, at boot time?

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ifupdown
  
  As I understand it, the proper way to introduce a non-default route at
  boot time is to add a "up route add -net ..." line to the network
  interface in question to the /etc/network/interfaces file in the
  interface stanza, like so:
  
  iface eth0 inet static
          address 10.1.1.123
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          network 10.1.1.0
          broadcast 10.1.1.255
          gateway 10.1.1.1
          # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if 
installed
          dns-nameservers 192.168.1.50
          dns-search example.com
          up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.1.2
  
  However, the "up route" line doesn't get executed.
  
  As a separate but related issue, there's no way using
  System->Administration->Network to add a non-default route either.  That
- would be a nice RFQ.
+ would be a nice idea for an enhancement.
