Hi,
I think you should use --domain local parameter. It will tell your clients to use common dns domain and would resolve such names in dnsmasq.
Where are your DNS data stored? Do you use /etc/hosts for them? Do you have there fqdn with unqualified aliases?

Solved adding fqdn to etc/host in the Ubuntu server.

I do apologize. Further investigation took me to my Windows XP clients that seems to append to every host request the local domain ( we are dismissing a Windows domain but the machine are still joined).
So if I ping testhost XP will add Autoservice.locale to the request.
I tried adding local=Autoservice.local to dnsmasq.conf but didn't work.
I hope that after unjoined the client will work as expected.
Thanks anyway.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make dnsmasq work in my small office.
It's installed on Ubuntu machine.
Everything seems ok I can resolve host names of the other PC's.
The only thing I'd like to fix now is that I have to put a dot at the end of the host name otherwise it will not be resolved.
So basically if I ping 'testhost' it fail if I ping 'testhost.' It will work.
There must me something about domain name but I need some help.
Thanks in advance.
