If you simply took the interface down, changed its configuration, & then brought it back up, this is insufficient to re-read the hostname.if(5) file & reinitialize the interface. What you need is netstart(8) which is executed (as root) by:

# sh /etc/netstart

Re-reading Section 6.2 of the FAQ is also warranted.
