newbie question

[fishbone_31 at my-deja.com]

Hi all,

I recently set up a DNS server (bind8.2.2 on RH 6.2). It's running fine
but for local users I want non-qualified host names to be solved the
same way as if they were qualified.

i.e.: my domain is "whatever.com"
I want host1 to be solved by typing

# host host1.whatever.com
host1.whatever.com is 172.24.5.1

or

# host host1
host1.whatever.com is 172.24.5.1


How can I get DNS behave this way?
Thanks,
Mounir.
