Description
Maintainer: @pprindeville
Environment: x86_64 OpenWrt 23.05.0 r23497-6637af95aa
Description:
I seem to have to restart the dhcrelay4 service after the router is booted in order for it to function. Prior to restarting, even though /usr/sbin/dhcrelay is running it is simply not actually doing any relaying until I run /etc/init.d/dhcrelay4 restart.
I suspect it might be getting started too early in the boot sequence and something it needs is not yet ready/up/etc. Although it's placement at S91 would make that a bit surprising.

Research direction
Start by inspecting /etc/init.d/dhcrelay4 and the boot ordering around S91, then check how /usr/sbin/dhcrelay is launched during boot. Reproduce the issue on OpenWrt 23.05.0 and compare boot-time behavior with a manual restart. Done means dhcrelay4 relays traffic immediately after boot without requiring a service restart.
