Let's once and for all in this email thread rule out, that this is not an rc(8) issue. A host can boot faster than its switch or other networking equipment. No rc(8) magic can help agains that. I mentioned 'late' option as a non-bulletproof workaround for the problem, and that's all. btw, your suggestion for NAMESERVICE provide in rc(8) is a nice one, could be useful for something else, but not for this problem. -- Gleb Smirnoff
