I have a bunch of custom redirects to IP addresses because I don't use domain names for my development sites ... but Chrome isn't pulling these from the hosts file!

Anyone know what's up?

Does localhost go to 127.0.0.1 when you try to go to it in your web browser?

When you last edited the HOSTS file, did you save it back to the directory it's supposed to be in?

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

No problem, we all make silly clerical errors from time to time.
