At the risk of courting contreversy, is the real "solution" not to only
use IP addresses in firehol scripts and possibly better failsafe if the
firewall does not load (although good look googling for the reason or
remotely logging into your box to fix it with everything set to deny).

Using names means any resolution failure risks your firewall not
starting up; the fact that DNS is apparently no longer resolving early
enough in the boot process has simply exposed one cause.

The fact is that when using a domain name IPs are resolved at load time
and will be unchanged for the lifetime of the firewall - so it doesn't
do what most people would really want anyway.
