We have eliminated slow syncing of mirrors because there aren't any mirrors.
We have eliminated wrong parameters to "newfs" or "extendfs" because LVM and "bdf" agree.
The usual reason for this discrepancy is that a program or user is deleting files which are open by an application which is still running. Usually in this circumstance "bdf" is right and "du" is wrong.
There are other possible reasons like embryonic files.
Do you get the disc space back after a reboot or application recycle perhaps?

I host a few websites for friends and lately my server has been bogging down at times. I think that it is because of a dns conflict. Someone said that by doing a nslookup I should be able to see it and then do a pkill -9 in.named and then do in.named to get it going again.

conflict
CONFLICT(8) [nmh-1.5] CONFLICT(8)
NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]
DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape
Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and
thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user,
and for users who do not have a valid group number. In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.
If the -mail name switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name. Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard
output.
The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report anomalies in those directories. The
-search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict.
Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place.
FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file

/var/mail/ Directory of mail drop
PROFILE COMPONENTS
