I've had clients check in with the short-form name when it's listed
first in the /etc/hosts file, like this:

     10.10.10.10    client  client.domain.com

Just swapping the names over fixed it and made it check in with the
long-form name:

     10.10.10.10  client.domain.com  client
That's a good idea, but mine is already
   ip   fqdn  hostname
