Centos 6.3 and static routes

I recently added a centos box inline between my cable modem and my checkpoint safe@office.  One of the things that I want to be able to do is run ntop.  Unfortunately, my safe@office was setup to NAT my wireless and wired connections behind it.  According to ntop, all I had was one host.

Disabling natting on the safe@office is easy, except, but default wireless clients and wired clients connect up on different subnets.  I could probably disable DHCP on the safe@office and have everything run via the centos box...but that is a project for another day.  For right now, I need to configure some static routes so that my centos box will properly relay traffic.

Standard route commands work, and are a great way for getting a configuration up and running.

For example:

ip route add 192.168.111.0/24 via 192.168.11.2 dev eth1

In the above example, I am adding a route for the 192.168.111.0/24 network and instructing all traffic to be sent to 192.168.11.2 via eth1.  Pretty sweet.  The problem is that adding routes like this does not persist the configuration after reboot.

I tried to edit the appropriate files as found in this doc, but I found that the configuration did not persist.  I may have messed up somewhere, but I didn't get that method to work.

I decided to go dirty and add the commands directly to rc.local.
