In the last week I've seen four different conversations about how to
properly start a service only 'after the network is up', and the different
people had different ideas of what this meant for their service:

- one wanted LAN up and working, nothing fancy
- one wanted to wait until DNS resolution was working
- one wanted to wait until an ospf daemon had negotiated routing
  tables and installed a default route
- one waited to wait until ntp had synced (not just started, but
  actually synced)

I think there's a real need for something better.

Thanks
