If you add a static route via an aliased address on an ethernet card, at least for non-linuxconf aliases and static routes added via control-panel, it will never get added. The problem is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes ${DEVICE} if [ "$ISALIAS" = no ] ; then /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases ${DEVICE} fi Routes are added, then aliases brought up. Moving the ifup-routes command after the ifup-aliases seems to fix the problem without any negative effects. Cliff
