If you're having DNS problems, you can always check if your rc.conf(5)
and syslog.conf(5) configurations are good by using IP addresses.
Don't forget to restart syslogd(8) of course. That will help you find
out if your configurations are good.

Now that should not prevent you from fixing your DNS :)

Have fun.
