Linux - Set static routes per ethernet device

This post will explain the way to add new static routes in Linux (RH).
The old way to do this was to add the route lines to /etc/rc.local.

The currently way to do this is to create a file named route-{Device Name} (Ex: route-eth0)
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, and add the new routes for this device to the file in this format:

GATEWAY0=10.10.0.1
NETMASK0=255.0.0.0
ADDRESS0=10.0.0.0

GATEWAY1=10.2.0.1
NETMASK1=255.255.0.0
ADDRESS1=192.168.0.0

Interesting blog as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning this matter. The only thing it would also be great to see here is some pics of any gizmos.
