If the 10.0.0.0 network is directly connected to your network card then you 
can use this command:

    route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

Or (I prefer this, you'd need iproute2 installed):

    ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev eth0

If 10.0.0.0 is not directly connected to the same network segment as eth0 then 
you must specify a gateway that you can use to reach it.  Basically the 
gateway must be directly reachable to you, perhaps something like this:

    route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 193.32.100.244

(the above being entirely speculation and likely wrong, hopefully you get the 
point).

It looks like eth0 contains publicly reachable IPs though, if 10.0.0.0/24 is 
your own private network I'd highly recommend not having it all shared on a 
single ethernet segment (i.e. stick in another ethernet card and put 10.0.0.0 
on eth1).
