To expand a little. 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.
