making a default gateway permanent

Hello all I'm able to add a default route to my RH box, however my change won't survive a reboot. what file do I need to edit to make this change stick?

if the route is associated with a certain device then the config file in
/etc/sysconfig for that device can have a GATEWAY= entry
but the easiest thing is to just put the route command you are using
at the bottom of a startup script
say
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc
(different distros have way different converntions for this)
but somewhere you will find as apropriate
even at the bottom of
/etc/inittab will work i bet
