Appending suffixes to short names to make them legal DNS names, is considered the responsibility of the *client*, not the *server*.
Look up “resolver search list” (more Unix-ish/Linux-ish) or “suffix search list” (more Windows-ish), and you should find some useful information.

Subject: need to look up short names
Hi All,
Fedora 26
bind-chroot-9.11.1-2.P2.fc26.x86_64
I am stumped. I need to be able to look up short names on my local network.
Long names work:
# host pop3.xxx.local
pop3.xxx.local is an alias for FedoraServer.xxx.local.
FedoraServer.xxx.local has address 192.168.255.12
But not short names:
# host pop3
Host pop3 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
My hosts.xxx look like this for pop3:
FedoraServer A 192.168.255.12
pop3 CNAME FedoraServer
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
-T
