Very Weird ping issue

I am having a problem with out of the 600 or so hosts I have right now and
it is very odd.

The four hosts in bb-hosts look like this:

166.47.52.23                    MIREGA-XYP                      # conn
166.46.11.1                     NRKANG-XYP                      # conn
166.42.132.19                   ALMMGA-AI                       #conn
166.39.161.143                  ORLLFL-AI                       # conn

The all 4 show up as red on the web page, but with not those IP addresses.
As a matter of fact the IPs they show as aren't anywhere in my bb-hosts
file.
The emails that are generated even have the wrong IPs as well, they look
like this:

red  Fri Sep 16 10:09:39 2005 conn NOT ok 
Service conn on ALMMGA-AI is not OK : Host does not respond to ping 
System unreachable for 9552 poll periods (3195617 seconds) 
&red 10.8.2.126 is unreachable 

red  Fri Sep 16 10:09:39 2005 conn NOT ok 
Service conn on MIREGA-XYP is not OK : Host does not respond to ping 
System unreachable for 9552 poll periods (3195617 seconds) 
&red 166.47.118.231 is unreachable 

As you can see those aren't the IPs in the bb-hosts file.  I have commented
out the lines in the bb-hosts file and done a:

bb 127.0.0.1 "drop MIREGA-XYP" for all of the hosts.  This got rid of them,
but when I put them back in, they came right back red with the same bad IPs.

What could possibly be causing this?

Thanks
Wes
