I wanted to thank you all for your responses. I reviewed and applied your suggestions and the problem appears to be solved. To clarify, my firewall box is also the samba server for a home network of Linux and Windows clients. All clients behind the firewall have statically assigned IPs so there is no dhcpd to contend with here and all clients have a manually assigned DNS. The firewall receives its internet IP via dhcpd from the ISP. Clients and the firewall box could not surf consistently becuase the resolv.conf file kept dropping the DNS address. Apparently the ISP dhcpd was overwriting resolve.conf. The solution was resetting PEERDNS=no in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX. All is well and thanks again.
