No, you don't put anything into /etc/inetd.conf.  You make sure that
there is a 'named' script under /etc/rc.d somewhere [it seems that
different distributions have different setups for this], and that you
have a symbolic link under /etc/rc.d/rc3.d [again modulo your distri-
bution's setup] that starts with 'S' and has a two-digit index that is
HIGHER than that for 'inet', and points back to the 'named' startup
script mentioned earlier in this all-too-long sentence.

Didn't we just discuss this fifteen minutes ago on this mailing list?
