While I wrote the initial route provider, it was over two years ago
and none of my code remains. From a cursory review of the code, it
appears that on redhat based platforms it should save routes to files
in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory. Can you run
'chef-client -l debug' and provide the output in a gist or pastebin?
You should see "writing route" in the output when it does.

I'm copying the Chef list to include the rest of the community as they
may have more input.
