Just purged it, still no change
I've even changed the eth0 devices address, but once I have the hosts 
file matching, and logged back in, no route is assigned.

as root, route -n returns:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     202    0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     202    0        0 eth0
192.168.71.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

/etc/resolv.conf is a real file, and contains:
nameserver 192.168.71.1
search hosts,dns
domain coyote.den

I've even changed the "dns" above to "nameserver", no diff on a 
networking restart.

And I'm at the end of my wits. Not only that, and despite the eth0 
address change, restarting the network does not change it. ifconfig says 
its still at the old address:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.71.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.71.255
        ether 3e:1b:98:17:e3:8c  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 2952  bytes 349284 (341.0 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 2414  bytes 213883 (208.8 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 40

So its, even with nm purged, inventing its own data, and I cannot change
it. WTH? Where is the cache that is overriding me?

Thanks Christian.
