I'm not a guru, so my answer only scratches the surface.

I believe what you want to do is develop your script which does these
things, then place it into /etc/init.d (look at the ones in there for a
decent structure to follow, though you may not need/want all the testing
that goes on..).  Follow that with an update-rc.d to populate the /etc/rc?.d
directories with the links.

You will need to be sure that the links are numbered higher enough that the
network connections are definitely established before your mounts.
