Update rc.conf - I doubt you have any changes to hosts? - then run 
/etc/rc.d/netif restart - this also assures you that network will be 
correctly configured on next boot.

Regarding your previous questions: Are you installing bind from ports? 
bind9 is in base on 5.x. It has slightly different config syntax.
