The defaults mentioned here reside in /etc/defaults. The files under /etc/defaults should not be edited or changed as they can get overwritten during upgrades. The file /etc/rc.conf is designed to contain overrides to alter or change the default behaviors. It is the one to edit, not the ones under /etc/defaults. So yes, pretty much all of the suggestions will turn DNS off. You can safely delete the lines in /etc/rc.conf. Should you need to put them back in at some time in the future you can look these lines up in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, then edit /etc/rc.conf accordingly. -Mike
