Scott,

I had to ask our system admin, he knows that the DNS  uses the trailing
dot but the host file probably does exact matches. This also
could be HP 10.2 dependent. Actually I just found the problem by process
of elimination because the configurations were correct except the host 
name didn't resolve.

Personally, I would leave the present configuration intack.
