Hi,
I am an Open-BSD 3.2 newbie.Can somebody please tell me the file in which to put my static routes?.
Counting on your prompt response.

route [-n] *command* [-net | -host ] *destination* *gateway*

see "man route" for commands, options, etc.

Sorry this is not what i am looking for.The solution you gave adds routes temporarily but i want to add the routes permanently.

When I've done this, I've just taken my route statement and put it in rc.local. It runs every time the server boots up.

Never had any problems doing it this way. Is there a better way anyone?

In that case, do this-
Create a file called /etc/myroutes. In this file, place all of your static routes. Put them in the form:
gateway network/netmask

eg.

10.0.0.1 10.0.3.0/24
10.0.0.1 10.0.5.0/25


Load up /etc/netstart in vi. Add the following code to handle the static routes contained in /etc/myroutes:
# Add static routes as required.
# file format is:
# gw network/mask
if [ -f /etc/myroutes ]; then
{
set -- `sed -e 's/#.*$//' /etc/myroutes |grep -v '^$'`
while [ $# -ge 2 ]; do
route -n add -net $2 $1
shift 2
done
}
fi

Hope this helps-
