Abiquo can serve static routes to virtual machines through the DHCP Server. The static routes are entered in Abiquo in the GUI where you create/edit the network:
for public/external networks in Infrastructure view on the Create/Edit Network popup
for private networks in Virtual Datacenters view on the Create/Edit Network popup
Note that you cannot set static routes for unmanaged networks using Abiquo because machines on these networks do not connect to the Abiquo DHCP server.

When you enter the static routes (using the GUI or the API), Abiquo will format the classless-static-routes options and add them to the DHCP leases file, for example.
