need to look up short names

[toddandmargo]

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
