> Andriy GaponIt might not be the exact answer you're looking for, but you might get some idea. I run isc-dhcpd inside CBSD jail and CBSD is started after local_unbound. For most of my needs, CBSD's b_order (short for boot order) works nicely, so if jail is an option for you, you might consider having services in jails and then use your jail manager (does jail.conf boots jails in order they appear in .conf file or is otherwise able to sort jail startups?) to force jail startup order.
