Here is a annoying problem we have:

/etc/ifconfig also looks at /etc/svcorder.  Unfortunately, when ifconfig
is run from /etc/rc.local, the nameserver is not running.  Therefore,
it takes forever to time the bind connection out before going to the
host table.  One way around this is to put the actual IP number in
/etc/rc.local, but this is ugly.

Is there a way to force ifconfig to use the host table and ignore
/etc/svcorder?
