What are you trying to accomplish? If you're wanting to create a blackhole for a certain website, just block access to it with iptables (or set a host entry pointing it to 127.0.0.1 if it's just for that box). If you're wanting to take an alternate path to that website, do route add <website IP> <nexthop IP>

well i have sorta a odd configuration and am having trouble with a website that i visit. the web site uses a kebros login and will only auth for 1 ip range. i have 4 wans that get load balanced though 3 daul wan routers. 2 wans for for each router and then an other daul wan to load balance them. i have one of the routers on the same group of ip addresses. so i want to direct all traffic to my.website.edu to 172.16.62.1 instead of the default gw 10.16.60.1. the linux box that i am using has 3 eth cards in it. eth0 is set up for testing on the wan right now with ip address 10.16.62.241. then eth1 is the card i want to direct all traffice to my.website.edu to. and eth2 is local

here is the cmd:
Code:
route add -host 169.237.x.x 172.16.62.1

loopback        localhost       255.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 lo

What IP do you have on 172.16.62.0/29? It thinks you're not on the same network as 172.16.62.1 (and if you're above 172.16.62.6, it's right)
