[Chester LUG] Routing a specific IP through a non-default interface

[Les Pritchard]

Have you tried just doing something like this?

route add -net 222.222.222.222 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 1.1.1.1
If you're going for a whole range of IPs via there, you'd just need to
alter the subnet mask

If that works then you'll just need to add it to your interfaces file
prefixing it with 'post-up'
