How to make a static route when using two internet connections?

Question

I have asked a question here on how to choose which applications will use a 3G internet connection and which applications will use the LAN.

User harrymc gave a very complete and interesting answer, pointing that this is possible using static routes for certain websites.

Now, lets say I want to access google.com only through my 3G internet connection. How would that static root look like?

• google has the IP: 173.194.39.180

• here is a print of my route table, the 3G Modem has the IP: 10.81.132.96

Answer 1

should be somthing like:

route add 173.194.39.180 255.255.255.255 10.81.132.96 1

note that since you are routing to a single address, the netmask is 32bit (eg:255.255.255.255). you may want to tweak the metric parameter (the trailing 1), but since you have a 0.0.0.0/0 route with a metric of 1, the system may never use your new route. routing decisions usually take metric into account.
