Using the depend() subroutine in the init script. My
/etc/init.d/iptables contains this:

depend() {
        before net
        use logger
}

Which *should* make iptables start before net.* (maybe except
net.lo). And sure enough, the boot sequence is:

dns-domain
net.lo
random
hdparm
metalog
acpid
alsa
gpm
iptables
net.eth0
portmap
nfs
sshd

So I don't exactly saee the problem - I haven't tweaked any of the
relevant scripts...

Rgards,
Tobias
