DNS returns same address for two different device names

I'm trying to solve a DNS problem. I've changed the name and IPs of the devices. I have two devices in my network. One is named, "device 1" the other is named "device 2". When I ping "device 1" I get a reply of 1.1.1.1. If I ping "device 2" I also get an address of 1.1.1.1 I've cleared the dns cache on my machine and I've removed the dns entry for "device 2". The only entry in DNS is "device 1" which is mapped to 1.1.1.1. Please help me resolve the problem why device 2 returns the address of device 1.

I can ping the address from my local device but can't ping it from the dns server.

I think the issue might be resolved. I came into work today and tried to ping device 1 and it didn't work. Device 2 still returns the correct address. Not sure what the issue was but thank you everyone for the help.
