can you describe the setup, like is the domain/webserver in the LAN or
connected to a separate NIC ?

do you really need to use routed ?

are you using firewall-software on that machine or any ping-related
settings in rc.conf ?

what's the output of netstat -r ?

what about the ping-ability of your gateway before ? was it pingable ?
or does it have
ping-replies "disabled" ?
