Re: named unable to bind to address?

I don't know why your bge1 isn't available yet. Maybe look in your dmesg 
for more details about it and share here.

As another workaround, maybe use sleep with some amount of seconds in 
your named startup script to delay its startup to make sure your bge1 is 
up.

(By the way, named has automatic-interface-scan and interface-interval 
options that may help for later interface listening (defaults yes and 60 
seconds).)
