You are probably running runlevel 3 so I would go to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and
have a look in there.

The scripts are all run in numerical order to get sequencing correct.  You
shouldn't need to touch named (bind) as it is already running in default
RH (if you installed it). 

All the runlevel specific stuff is started by the /etc/rc.d/rc script and
is run whenever the runlevel changes (ie init X).
