Re: Static routing through dynamic interface
You probably want to use diald. diald sets up a "dummy" interface with the route.
When an interface dies any routes tied to it are perforce removed. diald gets
around this by using a loopback interface. You could code something up yourself
but it would end up being diald (minus a few features perhaps).
