So, create my local domain (something.lan) and put all my entries in that then 
configure the clients to use something.lan as the default search domain?

How can I setup PDNS to resolve short names?

 

I would like to be able to resolve something like “testserver” to 192.168.1.1.  
No domain.

Generally this is the job of the stub resolver on the client, to expand 
"testserver" to "testserver.some.domain", by configuring it to retry queries 
which fail by adding "some.domain" to them.

Most clients will honour a DHCP parameter for the search domain. For example, a 
Linux client may put the setting "search some.domain" in /etc/resolv.conf
