So your DNS is able to resolve "host.domain.com.domain.com" but not
"host.domain.com"? If this is the case you probably have a zone file that has
"A" type resource records using the "almost FQDN" of the host. I say "almost
FQDN" because a true FQDN needs a trailing "." which signifies "root". So add
a dot at the end of each "host.domain.com" type name in the zone file
(preferred), or leave off the "domain.com" in the "A" resource records, but
don't do both.
