The server and client will always have to agree on a domain. If you don't have DNS, then you'll have to populate the /etc/hosts file on the client so that a gethostbyaddr() call on the client machine returns its full domain name.
There may be another way, but that certainly worked for my DMZ machines that are without DNS.
