[CentOS] Name Resolution Broken for One Address

I seem to have broken my laptop and have been unable to figure it out.

Name resolution works great, except one address, which seems to be 
resolving to 0.0.0.1.  Could you help me figure out what I have done and 
fix it?

The following lines are in /etc/hosts
192.168.11.1	dev.example.com
192.168.11.1	dev1.example.com

Pinging any other address that I try works, except dev.example.com.

CentOS54[root at ctlaptop etc]# ping dev1.example.com
PING dev1.example.com (192.168.11.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from dev.example.com (192.168.11.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64
