I know how to modify the iproute2 settings on a Linux box by using the "ip route *" and "ip rule *" commands.

But how do I save the settings such that they will remain if the machine gets rebooted?

You should create a shell script that get executed on every reboot (put it in your rc.local file). AFAIK, you cannot save the currently active iproute2 settings.

Hmm, I guess I'll do it that way if I can't think of a better way... but doesn't iproute2 load the configuration data from somewhere (does anyone know where)? I think it would be better to modify that.
