not done.  :)

this gets me:

this# cat > /etc/rc.d/LOCAL.force-rpcbind-NETWORK << EOF
# Dependency file to make rpcbind run as part of the NETWORK cluster.
#
# REQUIRE: rpcbind
# BEFORE: NETWORK
EOF
this# rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/*
...
rcorder: Circular dependency on provision `rpcbind' in file `/etc/rc.d/LOCAL.force-rpcbind-NETWORK'.
/etc/rc.d/LOCAL.force-rpcbind-NETWORK
...
/etc/rc.d/NETWORKING
...
/etc/rc.d/SERVERS
...
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind
...
this# rm /etc/rc.d/LOCAL.force-rpcbind-NETWORK 

you still have to tweak the rpcbind script so that it doesn't require
NETWORK.
