Indeed, if you study the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes script
you'll find out that static routes are searched
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-${INTERFACE} but there is also a
global file /etc/sysconfig/static-routes. This file is used for non
interface-specific static-routes.
Bottom line: it would be good if a /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file would
exist with some examples, but also a suggestion to put interface-specific
routes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-${INTERFACE}.
