Sending a HUP signal on the local machine to the named daemon is not necessary since it is a client and unless answering queries should not even have named running.

Try a few networking troubleshoots, make sure you can ping via IP address, try connecting to the name server using nslookup and see if it will return queries, if you cant connect then something is blocking your path, keep in mind DNS typically queries on port 53, do you have any rules in for this? If you can connect to the name server but cannot obtain an authoritative answer for the host then check the record on the nameserver for errors.

Generally if you are able to query a nameserver and obtain answers there is nothing wrong with the name resolution setup on the local host, there may be other networking issues, or something wrong with the nameserver records.

For the record a reboot is not needed if modifications are made to nsswitch or resolv.conf.

Regards.

NAME
polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool SYNOPSIS
dns-cfg [--option ...] DESCRIPTION
Given a zone name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers. Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent to the standard output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri- ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information. OPTIONS
--help list of options --version package version info --config <filename> PGL configuration --cfg_dirs <dirs> directories for PGL #includes --zone <str> zone name --addresses <str> IP addresses --names <str> domain names COPYRIGHT
