Not sure. The setup at my customer doesn't differ that much from my own,
except for two things: Here I am running a caching nameserver, and have
dhcp on only one netsegment, so I never used dhcrelay.
I just tried starting dhcrelay to listen on that segment, and
immediately I had the same nameresolution situation as with my customer.
A kill -9 `pidof dhcrelay` didn't make my nameresolution work again; had
to restart various networkservices.

What's weird is that a second attempt at using dhcrelay _didn't_ have
that effect; nameresolution continued to work.
I also tried combinations of stopping dhcpd, then starting dhcrelay,
then dhcpd; or starting dhcpd first, then dhcrelay.
I would like to be able to reproduce the malfunction I had when I first
tried dhcrelay, but...

I'll be going to my customer in about an hour, trying out various ways
of manually starting those services. Pls. do reply if you have anu
pointers.
