Yes.

They do, but:

1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network in older versions of Owl had a typo that
prevented this from working.  The bug was fixed over a year ago:

* Tue May 24 2005 (GalaxyMaster) <galaxy-at-owl.openwall.com> 0.24-owl1
- Fixed a typo in /etc/rc.d/init.d/network which used to break the static
routes logic. Thanks to DaNuk <noc at spacenet.ru> for pointing it out.

You didn't mention what version of Owl you're using, but I am guessing
that it's an old one.

2. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes only takes care of routes
that are specific to a particular network interface.  Your example route
would be setup by the "network" script rather than by "ifup-routes".
