domain goes to loopback adddress? Network smarties, can you figure this out?

Four pings to the same domain name in a row. two ping the loopback address, two ping the correct address. Well maybe like 5 seconds in between pinging the domain. It is the strangest thing I have ever seen.

so I used dig..

<<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> NS20.NETRIPLEX.COM domain.com

ourdomain.com. 3600 IN A 127.0.0.1


So what does this mean? Did one of our network people insert the loopback address by accident? I'm just curious.
