Do a "man chkconfig" and read through it.  It will explain how to do 
this.  The summary information is that you're going to want to modify 
the line:

# chkconfig: - 99 ??

in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ISproxy file to change the 99 to a number lower than 
85 (so it starts before httpd).  You can then:

chkconfig ISproxy off
chkconfig ISproxy on

to set up the symbolic links.
