Did away with dhcrelay, and of course dhcp still worked.

Nameresolution still sucks; I simply don't understand what's going on.
If I restart network, inet and firewall, the first few hits comes
blazing through; after that clients sometimes get through, sometimes get
the nameresolution done, but the site doesn't load, and remaining
attempts simply times out, or so it seems.
_Any_ attempts right from the firewall, using lynx, goes right through.

Ipchains -L goes right through now, though.

Could it be a routing problem? The five segments are:
eth0: 10.10.0.0/16 3c509TX DHCP, few slow clients
eth1: 10.0.0.0/16 DFE570TX DMZ<->inet-router
eth2: 10.1.0.0/16 DFE570TX Servers (when everything works)
eth3: 10.12.0.0/16 DFE570TX DHCP, clients
eth4: 10.13.0.0/16 DFE570TX DHCP, clients

Yes, the firewall default router is set to eth1.
As a test, I tried disabling the 3c509TX, though all interfaces do have
separate IRQ's and I/O.
I also tried setting a client up with fixed IP# and so forth, alos tried
using different nameservers, no change.
Resolv.conf contains search domain.dk and three nameservers at the ISP.

Gee, I dunno what next to test... Except shutting down interfaces to
have only the DMZ and one segment.
