Hi Kerin,

I tried a similiar thing:

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2013 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-misc/ntp/files/ntp-client.rc,v 1.13 2013/12/24 11:01:52 vapier Exp $

depend() {
        before cron portmap
        after eth0
        use dns logger
}


for "after XYZ"
I set 
    net
    net.eth0
    eth0
and none worked for me...

Best regards,
mcc
