You should put it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 (change
"eth0" to the name of the interface the routes apply to). For every
line in this file, when the interface goes up, it will run "/sbin/ip
route add $line" (see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes
script if you want to understand exactly what it's doing).
Apparently there's also a new syntax for
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0, in which you specify
several variables, the same you do in ifcfg-eth0, then you set
something like:
ADDRESS0=1.2.3.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY0=4.3.2.1
And then you go ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, ..., as you need more routes.
There used to be a /etc/sysconfig/static-routes for this purpose but,
as I understand, now the way to do it is per interface with the
route-${ifname} files.
To test if your file is working, do a "service network restart" and
check if the routes are up as expected. You can also do "ifdown eth0"
and "ifup eth0" if you want to restart only one interface (for
instance if you're remotely connected through another interface).
