taking a quick glance at interfaces(5), the most obvious thing for you
to do would be to add a 'up' command that gets executed.  Then after
the interface comes up you could have a short script that just calls
`route` to set the correct route.  If it's a dynamic IP and route this
might be a little tricky though.  There are other similar methods for
'down' to remove the routes..
