Ok, this shows us that you are running in a jail. The netmask is correct.

Your problem is with /etc/resolv.conf not pointing to your named.

Try adding "nameserver 209.237.255.52" to the *beginning* of the file.
Failing that, ask your provider what DNS servers you should be using.

I believe that when you messed around with /stand/sysinstall, this munged
your /etc/resolv.conf file somehow...
