Why not? Such routes work perfectly here. I also use them for my PPTP tunnel: route add -net 1.2.3.4/24 dev ppp1 Works perfectly! I think it simply means: take all IP-packets with destination 1.2.3.4/24 and send them out through interface ppp1. We know such routes from local network-interfaces. Actually, i also always thought, that i must specify a gateway. But it seems, i was wrong.
