What are the versions of FreeBSD and BIND(named) you use? I use
bind912-9.12.2P1_1(dns/bind912) on 11.2-RELEASE, and
"rcorder /etc/rc.d* /usr/local/etc/rc.d*" gets following result.

yasu at maybe[2006]% rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
(snip)
/etc/rc.d/syslogd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tcsd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named
/etc/rc.d/watchdogd
/etc/rc.d/savecore
/etc/rc.d/archdep
/etc/rc.d/abi
/etc/rc.d/SERVERS
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tpmd
/etc/rc.d/accounting
/etc/rc.d/ntpdate
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind
(snip)
/etc/rc.d/local
/etc/rc.d/lpd
/etc/rc.d/motd
/etc/rc.d/mountlate
/etc/rc.d/nscd
/etc/rc.d/ntpd
/etc/rc.d/powerd
(snip)

So named, ntpdate and ntpd is started expected order in my
environment.
