Check out /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.11.1/sysconfig.txt (or similar).
There's a load of info in there.

In short, static routes can be added in many ways.

For complex multi-route solutions, routes can be added by using the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interfacename> file using:
ADDRESSn=<network address>
NETMASKn=<network mask>
GATEWAYn=<gateway IP address>

The "n" can be any integer number, but is expected to be monotonically
increasing and counting starts from 0.

If you only have one default route on the whole system, it can be
specified in /etc/sysconfig/network using:

GATEWAY=<IP Address>
GATEWAYDEV=<Interface> <--- Optional interface to use for route

Default routes per-interface can be specified in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interfacename> with:

GATEWAY=<IP Address>

Hope this helps,
C.
