[ale] Multiple ethernet cards on same network

[ale at jeffx.com]

Greetings,
I have two network interfaces (eth0 and eth1)  both connected to the same
network.  All outbound connections go through eth1 and I would like to get them
to go through eth0 by default.  Leaving eth1 open for backup.     

Currently I execute the command "route add -net 172.17.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
dev eth0" and that seems to work fine (I have added it to my local boot script
for the time being).  If I try to add it to static-routes it does not take on
reboot.  

I am guessing there is a better way to do this?  I am using Red Hat 8.0.      
Any suggestions?

Regards,
Jeff
