Loopback issues

Hi:
I am having a rather confusing issue regarding my loopback address. The computer has a 10.x.x.x address on its eth0 interface which is connected to a Linksys router's LAN port
The ifconfig command shows that my loopback address is 127.0.0.1. My DNS resolver shows that this is still the case. The /etc/host files shows that the localhost is 127.0.0.1.
nslookup localhost and nslookup localhost.localdomain both show up as 127.0.0.1.
however when I attempt to ping typing this command
ping localhost
It shows that it is pinging my border router's WAN IP address instead of the loopback address. I can verify that there is no IP masqurading going on as there is no such entry in the iptables.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?
