Nameserver problems

With the nameserver we are using, we are able to specify the hostname of
any machine in the same domain just by using the hostname.  This is version
3.1D of the OS.  However, I believe that hostname. (<--- that's a period) is
the way you are supposed to specify that the machine is in your domain.

As for NFS, I was getting mount failures as well, until I specified the entire
domain name of each host in the /etc/exports file.  Then, everything worked f
fine.  It never had a problem with hosts inside the domain.
