There is more to writing a startup script than that.

I don't think it should make a difference at this point, unless your 
network isn't running by S55.  Are you sure you are starting only at run 
level 3?

man chkconfig
It's a very handy tool for administering run level services.

Didn't you say you were running a RedHat box?  Version number would be 
useful information, however, check to see if you have the file:
  /etc/sysconfig/static-routes

in it, add the line:
eth0 net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.1.1.250

>As long as eth0 is the NIC connected to 10.1.1.250

/etc/init.d/network script reads this file for you, and does it in the 
right place, and the next person to admin this RedHat box will know where 
to look with out a bunch of fumbling around.

Good luck.

Scott.
