Have you tried putting a "search" line in your resolv.conf?
here's my resolv.conf...
nameserver 209.208.124.98
nameserver 209.208.124.99
search mgjventures.com atlantic.net
nameserver 209.208.25.18
nameserver 209.208.42.132

It hasn't changed in over a year, with reboots, dist-upgrades through 3
different Ubuntu's ...
