If the filesystems are not needed until the system is up multiuser, you 
could specify the 'late' option on them in fstab, forcing them to be 
delayed until /etc/rc.d/mountlate is run after /etc/rc.d/DAEMON has 
completed. This will ensure that named is running prior to the mount, 
since DAEMON requires SERVERS, which starts named.
