We want to define a multicast route.

I put it in ifroute-eth0, but that seemed to work on one of openSUSE or 
SLES but not the other - I don't recall which unfortunately.

So I took the line that I thought should work in ifroute-eth0, and put it 
in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes, and that worked.  Temporarily.  On 
reboots, my routes file was getting renamed to routes.YaST2save and the 
prior content was stuffed back in (with just a default gateway).

I'd prefer to be able to set the routes file content (or ifroute-eth*) 
via a shell script, but if I must use the .xml method, so be it.

So I stuck the following into my autoyast.xml:

    <routing>
      <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward>
      <!-- destination, gatewa    <routing>
      <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward>
      <!-- destination, gateway, netmask, [device, [extrapara]] -->
      <!-- 228.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 eth0 multicast -->
      <routes config:type="list">
        <route>
        <destination>228.0.0.0/8</destination>
        <gateway>0.0.0.0</gateway>
        <netmask>255.0.0.0</netmask>
        <device>eth0</device>
        <extrapara>multicast</extrapara>
        </route>
      </routes>
    </routing>

...and that seems to handle the multicast route pretty well.  It even 
threw in the "multicast" part at the end of my routes line for the 
multicast route.

But.

Now all seems fine on openSUSE, but on SLES, I'm not getting a default 
route anymore, even when I set up both of a test machine's ethernet 
interfaces for DHCP.

I'm thinking that if I try to stick a default route into the routes file, 
I'm going to run into the same problem - the content will disappear on 
reboots.

What do I need to do to get good routing?  I'd like the following:
1) A consistent method across openSUSE 10.3 and SLES 10.1 - this part 
isn't absolutely important though
2) A good default route on DHCP or static that survives reboots and can 
be changed in the field without reinstalling
3) A good multicast route that survives reboots and can be changed in the 
field without reinstalling

Thanks!
