I recomend using the ip command (in the iproute package) rather than
ifconfig and route.  It allows you to control details that the other
commands don't.

For example, to set up a route to 10.0.30.0/24 using source address
10.0.30.251:

ip route add 10.0.30.0/24 dev eth0 src 10.0.30.251

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.
