   We set up and configured named on our box a month or so ago, and a power
   outage a couple days back pointed out that I forgot to put into place the
   various startup/shutdown scripts for it.

   Now that I'm working on it, I've begun to realize I'm not really sure
   _when_ named should be started and stopped (which rc directories to put
   it in, and wether it should be an S or a K) and where in the whole
   startup and shutdown they should go up and down.

   Any ideas?

You didn't mention what OS you're using.  Your comment about the S and K leads
me to believe that you're using a System V machine.  Solaris already starts
named on boot up if the /etc/named.boot file exist.  HP 10.x requires that you
set the variable NAMED=1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file.

If you have a different system, you'll need to let us know.
