I've always done it with /etc/sysconfig/static-routes.  Here's a snippet
of the top of one of mine:
# External chunk of Merrill class B
any net 150.228.40.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 gw 172.30.12.1

This gets called by the network startup script.  To test it, add the
entry and then do a /sbin/service network restart &
