The command "ftp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org" is incorrect, ftp doesn't
understand URL's, the correct command would be "ftp ftp.freebsd.org"

In any case, your DNS isn't working as evidenced by line 3 and
the other examples you gave.

Was it ever working?  Have you got a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf
as described in resolver(5)? (that means you should type man 5 resolver,
otherwise you will get resolver(3) which is not relevant to you)
	
Here's an example resolv.conf, don't copy it blindly:

domain indigo.ie
nameserver 194.125.133.10
nameserver 194.125.133.11
search doc.ic.ac.uk ic.ac.uk
