Cisco 1721 static routing

Forgive me if this is a stupid question...

We are a small company and have a 1721 that is the gateway to our provider for our Internet service. We are currently not using any routing protocols and have 1 static route to our provider. I now have the need to add a ethernet card in the extra slot to route to another company temporarily. The company is located in the same building so it should be easy but since I'm saavy I need to make sure I'm doing things right.

Currently the routing info looks like the following:

iproute 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 65.65.xxx.xxx Which is our ISP's router. Assuming the other parties end of the connection is 172.16.17.1, and I configure the address of Eth0 to 172.16.17.2, is this as simple as adding the line:

iproute 172.16.17.0 0.0.0.255 172.16.17.2

Are routes processed in order like ACL's? Does the new route need to be first to be processed correctly?

Thanks for your help. Larry
