if the only one you want to cover is gs.apple.com then it's almost ok since you have two entries for the same domain, you should have only 1, the one with the IP you want to resolve to.

Ye make sense, since the error 3xxx means:
"iTunes can't connect to gs.apple.com. Maybe Port 80 and Port 443 is blocked. Open it on your router"

And your Hosts file get a little confused here as mentioned by RMFGames

I've tried both ip addresses listed above and neither work. Still getting the 3014 error when it goes to verify iPad restore with Apple.

Update: I rebooted my computer and then it worked!
