Sterling,

Can you be more specific?  Did inserting this into the .plist file allow
the LightTPD to startup at boot or not?

<string>--restart-netchange</string>

Or did it work and now suddenly it fails to boot again after changing
trying to authenticate against active directory?  If it needs to wait
after boot a bit to work, and I've seen some apps this way, you can use a
wrapper shell script with a "sleep 30" in it to introduce a 30s delay. 
See the snort port because it does this.
