Unbound isn't really going to do anything useful without the network.  I 
don't think it is unreasonable that it should depend on NETWORKING.

I think we're in an edge case here and, perhaps, a better solution might 
be to have someone(tm) add in support in rc.conf to specify dependency 
overrides.

So, perhaps you could set:

dhcpd_after="unbound"

Which would factor into the rcorder processing and make sure that dhcpd 
starts after unbound.

This would allow people to fine-tune things when they run into cases 
like this.
