Use the "route add default <gateway> 1" command to tell the non-gateway
machines to forward any packet not intended for another node on the local
network to the gateway. You can also use a similar command on the gateway
itself  to point to the next gateway on your route to the outside world.

Our Apollo token-ring is connected to our local building ethernet, which
in turn is connected to the MIT campus optical ring, which in turn is
connected to everywhere else in the world. We don't use "routed" on any
of our machines, and it works just fine. As long as your Apollo network
only has one connection to the outside world, /etc/route works just fine.
