Looks like a DHCP layout. Are you running dhclient (ie: have 
ifconfig_IFACE="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf)?

I think typing:
host delliver.mshome.net

*on that machine* doesn't give a valid ip address or an adress that is not on 
the workstation.
Since you're refering to 'ics' I guess you're gateway is an MS box and doesn't 
run DNS or a DNS forwarder at best.

These do not resolve the local hostname on the machine itself, which is what 
mod_unique_id tries to do though.

Exactly what you're typing: it's lexacilly sorted - to be exact: sorted 
according to the glob(3) implementation.

If you need landns.root.sh to start first, rename it to:
010.landns.root.sh

Just in case you're wondering:
000.* is used for ldconfig(8)'s shared library paths, like 'lib/mysql' and 
'lib/kde3' so you might wanna steer clear of that.
