if u don't know how to make an initd scrtip, u can simply use netconfig to
disable automatic
starting of eth0,eth1.. and then in the rc.local script you can run the
iptables rules or whatever,
and than start the eth0,eth1 manually in the end of the rc.local like this:
/sbin/ifup eth0
which should run the init scripts automatically.

why not just make it a normal initd script that runs before the network
comes up?
