for the records if anyone comes here: transparent mode is broken in the relayd shipped with OpenBSD 5.0.

Here is a solution to this from the mailing list:

first fetch the openbsd sources and then:
$ cd src/usr.sbin/relayd
$ cvs up -D 2011/05/08
$ make install

This will get you a working version of relayd, you can try getting the associated relayctl but I wasn't able to make it works, it crashes the relayd daemon when used, only the reload seems to be working but does nothing at all. Also if you send a SIGHUP to the process it will just exits.

In the end I am now considering to write an alternative myself as closing every opened tcp connections when reloading the config (since restart is the only way) is not really an option for my use case.
