mydns-mysql starts before mysql has finished starting

[Alfred Perlstein]

Hey Mikael,

Thank you for your feedback.

To find out a port's maintainer, you can look into the makefile
under CVS:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/dns/mydns/Makefile

It looks to be:
MAINTAINER=	ale at FreeBSD.org

If you don't a get a response from this developer, then try
the generic "ports at freebsd.org" address.

As far as fixing the problem, I think a trick might be to do
something like this:

while /etc/rc.d/mysql status = up && mydns == exit failure
  ...

You might want to fork off the process to do this so if
mysql hangs then your startup script doesn't hang the
boot sequence waiting for it..
