OK, but the I something you should be doing already, IMO. What is the point of
having a FQDN if you are not using it? And you are already editing /etc/hosts
(incorrectly), so you're already doing something on every system.
It seems like what you want is "This should work how I want and I should not
have to do nothing at all to make it work"?
Again, set FQDN on your machines and everything works as it should, even things
you have not though about.
