This looks a bit fscked up. A lot of routes to the same places.
A machine doesn't need routes to its own IP addresses.
Perhaps it should simply be
10.110.50.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U tr0
170.197.24.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U lo
0.0.0.0 170.197.24.1 0.0.0.0 UG eth0
In fact, the Red Hat if-up scripts should add these routes
by default without you having to take any special measures.
Later,
Kenn
