The network scripts are prepared for this. Create a file called
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<devicename> with content
"192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1" (the ip route add is
executed by the network script automatically). You can read about that
in /usr/share/doc/initscripts*/sysconfig.txt.
