Hello Jason, I was wondering if ip route2 consults any settings file while the machine boots up. For example, *iptables-save* saves the iptables commands to the /etc/sysconfig/iptables. Next time the machine boots up the firewall rules get loaded from this file. So along the same lines, I was wondering if ip route 2 did something to that effect. Thank you for your input though.
