    Find these lines near the top of the init script, notice the

    "# Required-Start line"

    that states which services should be started prior to the start of your
    script. This one is taken from the named script in /etc/init.d.

    ## BEGIN INIT INFO
    # Provides: named
    # Required-Start: $network $remote_fs $syslog
    # Required-Stop:
    # Default-Start: 3 5
    # Default-Stop:
    # Description: Starts internet domain name server (DNS) BIND 9
    ### END INIT INFO

    Adjust your script accordingly and insserv -d and it should adjust the
    point at which it starts.
