The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that you don't trust your DNS.
FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would rather take the time to make
something as mission critical as DNS work right instead of hiding the
real problem. To each his own, I've been on contracts before where the
problem was systemic and that was the only way to get backups working
without significant changes in procedures across the company but if your
admins and network guys are doing their job you shouldn't have to.
I guess my comment is just that 'you shouldn't have to use FQDN's' and
if you don't have to I wouldn't. To each his own.

Always, always use FQDNs. Short names are simply evil.
