I suspect what you need to do is make your local DNS server a real secondary
server for your hosts (as opposed to a caching server which just remembers
hostnames after they've been queried once). Then go to each of your other
hosts, and change their /etc/resolv.conf files (or equivalent for Windows
machines) to point to your DNS server as the first entry. Also modify your
dhcp file if you have a dhcp server to give out that DNS server.
Failing that, you can fully populate /etc/hosts with all of your hostnames
(both fully qualified and without domain name). Then make sure
/etc/nsswitch.conf lists 'files' ahead of 'dns' for 'hosts'. I do this myself,
and it doesn't cause diald to dial (except when I forgot to add a hostname
without the .cygnus.com added, so it dialed to set up the dns when I used the
short name).
