You don't mention which version of Windows you are using but
windows has to be configured to search the DNS domain as well
(just like you configured your *nix boxes by updating resolv.conf)
On Windows 2000 for instance you go into the Advanced tab
of TCP/IP properties in control panel and you'll see a box :
DNS suffix for this connection
and you can fill in chamkila.org. Just above this box is an
option to search a list of suffixes rather than just one.
