Carving up a Class C

This is a sub-netting question. If anybody can point me to some nice
FAQ's or web based reference material I would be appreciated.

I've set up my Portmaster's (4 currently) in preparation for an 8 network
subnet. (subnet mask 224) Each PM-2E has been given an IP in the lower
net (.26 .27 .28 .29) and the assigned addresses for each fall within
the node ranges for each subnet. (currently all machines have a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.224)

Now, all the reference material I've managed to glean so far points me to
think I need to set up a static route for each network (0,32,64,96 etc)
in my Cisco 2501.

Tips on doing that would be appreciated but what I'm wonderring is this.

Can I set up all the static routes for each subnet to point to the same
Portmaster and then let RIP sort it out in the wash by using the
'add subnet' command on each portmaster ? Does that make the static route
assignment on the Cisco any easier ? (ie a global command of some kind)

Thoughts ?
