You may also want to read up on dnsmasq since I think the behavior you are seeing is intentional. Here is just one snippit from /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Code:

# The following two options make you a better netizen, since they
# tell dnsmasq to filter out queries which the public DNS cannot
# answer, and which load the servers (especially the root servers)
# uneccessarily. If you have a dial-on-demand link they also stop
# these requests from bringing up the link uneccessarily.

# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv

I have gotten around most of this by using avahi so I can address all my systems by name on any link-local connection.
