Your DHCP server needs to send a 'search' entry along with the DNS server information when it configures clients. The result is that your /etc/resolv.conf (or equivalent) looks something like:
search localdomain
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x
This can be achieved by adding something like the following to /etc/dhcpd.conf (or equivalent):
option domain-name "localdomain";
Far as I know, that's all you have to do, other than tell your DNS server what domain it's answering for, which it sounds like you already have.
