resolv record without domain

[Lightner, Jeff]

Right - the issue here is the lookup not the DNS record itself.   On UNIX/Linux hosts the file is /etc/resolv.conf.

However, I do see a DNS configuration issue here as well.  There should NOT be a dot after "name" in the A record - that tells it NOT to append the domain name.

Not 100% sure I understand the question, but what I think you need is a search path.

In a linux box, add:
search example.com
to resolv.conf.

On a mac it's under Network Preferences, Interface, Search Domains.
somewhere similar on Windows.

You can also hand this out via DHCP:
option domain-search "example.com";
