I have some problems with the last update of initscripts. Let me explain. Before this update, on my router, I have all my network config (3 interfaces, 4 routes) in one file: /etc/rc.conf. After the update, I have one piece in /etc/rc.conf and another pieces in multiple configuration files of netcfg. For the routes, I don't know where to put them. This is more complicated.
I have understand you changed it because you are now using iproute2. But why have you change the philosophy (for me it's not KISS)? Why don't you keep all the network config in rc.conf?
Thank you for your reply. Excuse me for my poor english.

What's KISS from the user standpoint may not be KISS from the developer standpoint. If a piece of software is unmaintained or maintained poorly it becomes a PITA for distribution maintainers to works with.
Many users have only one interface so they don't care.

It would be better if you post your old rc.conf and all of your interface config, so maybe another user can help you with your problem.
Ask, and it shall be given you.
Seek, and ye shall find.
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Yes many users have only one interface, but is archlinux only for this kind of servers or is it also for guys having routers or gateway?
Here is my example:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.100.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255"
eth1="eth1 192.168.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
eth2="eth2 10.0.10.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.10.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1 eth2)gateway="default gw 192.168.100.10"
route_101="-net 10.1.18.0/24 gw 192.168.100.240"
route_prox1="-host 192.168.89.10/32 gw 192.168.1.11"
route_prox2="-host 192.168.89.11/32 gw 192.168.1.11"
route_prox3="-host 10.250.0.5/32 gw 10.0.10.11"
ROUTES=(gateway route_101 route_prox1 route_prox2 route_prox3)
