Yes, it means literally what it says, the host 206.56.100.1 is not within
the network of your machines nic, and something in the config is trying to
pursuade it otherwise...

This doesn't matter - it won't make any difference whether it resolves or
not unfortunately... :)

206.58.96.* is not the same network as 206.58.100.1 - Do you have more
than 1 class 'c' on the same wire?

Run an 'ifconfig -a' and 'netstat -r -n' and send the results here, maybe
that will shed some more light on it...
