Route Statement w/static IP

[multiband8303]

WE have multiple T1 P2P connections - for whatever reason - we have 4 computers with static IP addresses, and we want them to go out to one particular T1, I can just add a route statement for each and indivdual computer (or that subnet) and point it towards the interface of the T1, is what I woudl like to accomplish. What is the best of way achieving this?

The routing should be handled by the routers. That's what they do...route. Adding routes to hosts is never a good idea.

Do all these T1s go into a single router? Even if there are multiple routers, the routing protocol will take care of directing traffic to the best route.

So I got these 4 computers that all connect to my layer 3 switch, which essentially for all intents and purposes, a router - what route statement do I need to make to implicity route the traffic from these 4 computers - to a different t1 - that all the other traffic is going through (the default gateway that is set on there of 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x.)

You're not making any sense.

What is your destination network? How many paths are there to this destination?

wouldnt be the first time

to route traffic based on source address (as opposed to typical destination based ip routing) youll need to setup route maps, aka policy based routing.

you should really understand EXACTLY what you're trying to accomplish before jumping into it. PBR has its place, but lacks scalability and can cause serious problems if implemented incorrectly.
