Well the:
[root at cheetah ~]# mv /var/db/freebsd-update /var/db/freebsd-update.9.2
[root at cheetah ~]# mkdir /var/db/freebsd-update
Would have done the same thing...
DNS should be fine... appears to be:

And actually it'll do this:
[michelle at cheetah /usr/home/michelle]$ host -t srv
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 40 80 update6.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 50 80 update5.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 5 80 update3.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 35 80 update4.freebsd.org.
Which actually returns this:
[michelle at cheetah /usr/home/michelle]$ host -t srv
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org | sed -nE "s/update.freebsd.org (has SRV
record|server selection) //p" | cut -f 1,2,4 -d ' ' | sed -e
's/\.$//' |
sort
_http._tcp.1 35 update4.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.1 40 update6.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.1 5 update3.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.1 50 update5.freebsd.org
You'll note however, that now...
[michelle at cheetah /usr/home/michelle]$ sudo freebsd-update -r
9.3-RELEASE upgrade
Password:
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.2-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 2 metadata files... done.
Inspecting system... done.
The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic world/base world/doc
The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
src/src world/games world/lib32
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y
Fetching metadata signature for 9.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata patches. done.
.
.
etc..
So what ever was broken is not now... and it still says "Looking up
update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found."
Thanks for trying...>

Not a hope in hell of that they don't work on this box, but even so the
recommended path is go to the latest before the upgrade (and having not
done that in the past and ended up bricking the box, I think it still
stands.)
