Default Help needed. Zero crossing with RC snubber problem

I have used a triac assisted relay before.

The triac shorts out the relay contacts just before the relay is
switched on and off.
Because the relay is no longer swicthing current they pretty much last
forever.
You can get away with a small triac as its not on for long.
