Did you try adding your domain-name after the hostname?  If that works, then 
you might have to add (probably uncomment) a line in the dnsmasq.conf file 
to auto-append it.

I think you can do that on a windows client as well by setting the dns 
search order ("Append these suffixes...") in TCP settings.

Maybe that helps.
