You've actually got two disjoint network ranges here:

Netmask: 255.255.255.224 = 27 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000

The rule with setting up aliases on FreeBSD is that the first address
used from any netblock must have the correct netmask for the whole block.
Subsequent alias IPs from the same block typically use 0xffffffff as the
netmask -- this certainly used to be mandatory but I think that requirement
was actually dropped fairly recently.
Anyhow, in order to fix your problem, change the netmask for the 194.34
address in your /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 213.112.194.34 netmask 0xffffffe0"
Note: you don't actually need to supply both netmask and broadcast --
broadcast will be calculated for you automatically. You can also give
the netmask in 'slash notation' like so:
ifconfig fxp0 inet 213.112.194.34/27 alias
If this is configured correctly, then you should see routes for both
213.112.194.34/27 and 213.112.195.98/27 in the output of 'netstat -rn'
Cheers,
Matthew
