hello: this is currently what i have

 

Destination                Gateway                genmask             iface

255.255.255.255              *                    255.255.255.255      eth1

localnet                           *                    255.255.255.248      eth0

192.168.1.0                     *                    255.255.255.0         eth1

default                            *                    adsl-xx-xxx-xx        eth0

 

i want to add

127.0.0.0                           *                     255.0.0.0              lo

 

how do i go about doing so?

 

i have tried:

route add 127.0.0.0 lo

gives me 255.255.255.255 as a submask, but i need 255.0.0.0
