Perhaps the term 'misconfigured network' IS a little bit harsh, but you overlook a feature of DHCP which can alleviate this issue and is quite necessary in a heterogenous network. DHCP can, after all update DNS with the hostname <-> IP Address mappings needed automatically. So while your network is configured to MINIMALLY work within the constraints of only having microsoft products able to find name to address mapping... Anything standards-based is going to need your network admin to take the additional step of providing dynamic DHCP <-> DNS updates.

Not hard to do.

it's simply an artifact of a misconfigured network
Not really, you can use WINS instaead of DNS inside your network. And that
does not mean that you have missconfigured your internal network.

DNS is a static file where the IP address are written. When you use DHCP
you does not want to include every computer of your network in the DNS
file. The clients simply get an address from the DHCP server and this does
not mean that you want to configure a DNS entry for every computer. Also
this does not mean that your network is bad configured.

The new Apache HTTP Server has turned off this feature to iimprove
performance.
