None of the above.  In rc.local,

HOSTRC="/nfsfoo/rc."`hostname`
GENERICRC="/nfsfoo/rc.GENERIC"
if [ -x $HOSTRC ]; then
	echo -n 'Starting Foo, Inc. daemons: '
	. $HOSTRC
else if [ -x $GENERICRC ]; then
	echo -n 'Starting Foo, Inc. daemons: '
	. $GENERICRC
fi


It's really clear what machines start what, and since we use automounters 
(automount or amd), either (a) the files will exist and be run or (b) 
we've got a lot bigger problem than whether the httpd (or whatever) 
starts up.

In particular, since we have multiple servers that can fill the requests, 
(b) means that we have a serious network problem that won't let anybody 
get work done anyway.
