hehe, close.  Just reverse what you said.

The client could look up server.domain.com, but could not resolve just server. 
Even though we have appended domain.com to the list of domains to search (kinda 
like the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf in a real OS).  :)

The server could resolve both client and client.domain.com

Thanks alot for your help!  I was heading down the wrong direction on this 
one....
