You are most welcome.

So here’s some followup: many of us have had this problem before, and it seems OS-specific. Is there any way to get this more right by default? I see that many/most of my entries in hosts.cfg have CLIENT:<hostname> specified. My server is Solaris 10, my clients are a mixture of things.

In theory, a hostname contains no domain suffix.
So you should never have a FQDN in your hosts.cfg
