Congratulations. You must be pretty relieved.

The first destination address i.e `.56' *IS NOT* a `host address'. Its
the correct `network address'. Its what you get when you `AND' the IP
address of the interface with the netmask (e.g. perl -e 'print 58 & 248' )

In short, there is nothing wrong with the routing table.
