Then I guess you can put the initialization commands for your script 
into /etc/conf.d/local.start and the corresponding commands to stop it 
into /etc/conf.d/local.stop, and then add local to the default runlevel.

For the truly paranoid, this is not an optimal solution, since there is a 
little period of time (the few seconds between the start of networking and 
the activation of the firewall) during which you are not protected, but the 
method should work fine for most setups anyway.
