You don't need to reboot the system. That's a Windows practice that you'll soon
learn isn't often necessary with FreeBSD.

Probably the best way to make named see the changes is to use ndc, as in:

ndc reload

See the ndc man page for more stuff you can do with it (it's really just a
script that sends the appropriate signal to the named process).
