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.
