 According to rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/* , named is started after
 ipfw rules have been loaded and IMHO, this is right and good.
 I think you should rely on /etc/hosts to have a hostname translated to
 an IP address at this point of the boot process. Perhaps this should be
 documented (where? ipfw(8) ? ) but then this would become a
 documentation related problem.
