additionally every network normally should have it's own ntpd using the 
public pool and act as source for all other machines, just because to be 
nice too the "pool.ntp.org" and hence any other box needs just an IP 
address for doing "ntpdate xx.xx.xx.xx" *before* it's own ntpd starts

so you just need to make sure the correct order

* ntpdate xx.xx.xx.xx
* start ntpd
* start named
