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.
