Try restarting "named" and "httpd".

named = BIND / DNS
httpd = Apache / Web

You can also try to reload both without restarting.

named = /usr/sbin/rndc reload
httpd = /usr/service httpd reload

os is the latest version of freebsd, by the way i dont have rndc all i saw when i ran locate was rndcontrol in the .sbin folder
 
The latest release as in 5.3 or are you using the 5.4RC1?

Anyway if you enabled named in the install of the OS you can restart it with /etc/rc.d/named restart or stop then start

apache should be /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache restart or stop then start. You could probably also use apachectl restart from anywhere and do the same thing.
 
that was it! i found named and ran a restart, all the dns now resolve! thanks a ton damnskippy your the best!!!!!!!!!

Headache is now over.
