that's definitely wrong, you ended up setting your broadcast address to 255.255.255.255 instead of setting the netmask. most likely you got bitten by the different syntax between ifconfig(8) and hostname.if(5). I use the format "inet 11.22.33.44/28" in hostname.if which I find much easier to work with.
