The file format is simply the syntax used to pass to the route command, with the prefix 'route add -' replaced by the device to which it's associated, thus the lines above would be: eth1 host xxx.xx.xxx.x1 dev eth1 eth1 host xxx.xx.xxx.x2 dev eth1 eth1 host xxx.xx.xxx.x3 dev eth1 This is then used by the startup scripts when bringing up the device in column 1 by greping out the line, and then passing it to the route command for you.
