Don't over-engineer it. This is the order it is done in now.
The barier scripts are supposed to be major milestones. With your
suggestion DISKS_{LOCAL,NETWORK) would each have _only_ one
dependency (mountcritlocal and mountcritremote, respectively), so
what would be the point then?

I think the current barrier scripts plus Gordon's suggestion to
include routing in NETWORKING works ok. However, improvements
to /etc/rc.d/network1 to allow bringing up/down the interfaces
individually would be nice.

Cheers.
