My opinion? It's better to wean your users away from shortnames than to try
to cobble together kludges, on the client side or the BIND side, to support
a bad habit. Shortnames introduce ambiguity, lead to nasty surprises, are
inefficient and insecure. Just like we (in the U.S. at least) long ago
adapted to using full numbers, including area codes, for pretty much *all*
phone dialing, people can adapt to using FQDNs. They've already adapted to
it, overwhelmingly, for Internet web traffic (notwithstanding some
"helpful" browsers that will tack on "www" to the front of a shortname, and
".com" at the end, which is often *not* what is wanted or safe). Why have a
different user experience, when on or off the enterprise network, a
perimeter that is quickly eroding? Just use FQDNs everywhere, keep it
consistent.

Anyway, that's my 2-cents, from someone who has been battling the
"shortname disease" for decades, with a substantial amount of (although not
perfect) success.
