The init scripts and /etc/conf.d/net do not support more than one static route per interface. For example, with two "routes_eth0" lines in /etc/conf.d/net, only the second one has any effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add more than 1 "routes_eth0" lines in /etc/conf.d/net 2. restart net.eth0 3. run "route" to see results Actual Results: Only the last route is actually set. Expected Results: Set each route specified in /etc/conf.d/net Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.25-gentoo- r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.25-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1133MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.10 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/ config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode exiscan-acl foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Your syntax is wrong. I'm sorry there isn't an example yet in /etc/conf.d/net or this wouldn't be a problem. routes_eth0=( "-net first route args" "-net second route args" ) This creates a bash array variable called routes_eth0, then it will work for you.
