The relay with "-_-" is allowed only for machines on ".localnet" by default.
You need to specify like "RELAY=proxy,delegate:*:*:*" to permit it for anyone,
as written in <URL:http://www.delegate.org/delegate/Manual.htm#RELAY>.
Since you are specifying RELAY="proxy,delegate" which means
"RELAY=proxy,delegate:*:*:*", it seems strange why it is forbidden.
With the option "-vv", you will get more detailed logs.  If the
RELAY=proxy,delegate is recognized properly, the log on the start-up
must show a line like this:

  05/15 08:52:11.67 [16528] 0+0: [0] CMAP={proxy,delegate}relay{*}:{*}:{*}

and with the "-dh" option, you will get detailed log about how it is
judged to be forbidden or permitted.  When it is permitted:

  05/15 08:57:33.77 [16693] 1+2: {HL} CMAP/relay 0/1
  05/15 08:57:33.77 [16693] 1+2: [1/1] REGEXP NAME MATCHING: server += * ?

  05/15 08:57:33.77 [16693] 1+2: [1/1] ==> 1 (CMAP/SRC client)

and when it is permitted:

 |2.)	Next problem is really weird.  If I use the following url on
 |machine X delegate will return an error:
 |		url =
 |http://X:81/-_-http://firstsearch.oclc.org/done=referer;dbname=WorldCat;
 |FSIP

I tested the above URL just with parameters like yours, from Firefox and
MSIE, but I could access it without error.  So it is strange too.

 |		For some reason the -_-http://firstsearch.oclc.org/ is
 |gone from the url when it is redirect by the firstsearch.oclc.org site.
 |We have noticed this on several sites that use a java based redirect.
 |		Any help here would be great. Thanks.

JavaScript based redirection could be handled with a parameter like this:

  URICONV=where:any

Cheers,
