# TAG: append_domain
# Appends local domain name to hostnames without any dots in
# them. append_domain must begin with a period.
#
# Be warned that there today is Internet names with no dots in
# them using only top-domain names, so setting this may
# cause some Internet sites to become unavailable.
#
#Example:
# append_domain .yourdomain.com
#
#Default:
# none

Alternatively, put them in /etc/hosts or use an external resolver and
configure that to use a search list.
