To make this withstand a reboot ensure that:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 is 1 and not 0 (and that it exists in file)

/etc/sysctl.conf

Please shout again if you are looking for actually defining static 
routes i.e. for such a subnet use router X.

If you set the internal machines to have the RH box as their gateway and 
the RH box is routing okay then all internally should be fine :-)

Kind regards
Xander
