[Dnsmasq-discuss] One client gets my domain name appended, another gets .local, why?

I have dnsmasq running with a fairly basic configuration but (among
other things) it does have:-
expand-hosts
domain=isbd.net
Two clients do as I expected and their host names have isbd.net appended:-
maxine.isbd.net ether 00:50:8d:93:fd:09 C eth0
C475IP.isbd.net ether 00:01:e3:9d:8b:b5 C eth0
But one doesn't:-
MyBookWorld.local ether 00:90:a9:70:06:ff C eth0
Can anyone explain why that one gets .local appended rather than
.isbd.net and more to the point how can I fix it (apart from hard
coding it somewhere)? MyBookWorld.local is a Western Digital NAS
running some sort of Linux, I have command line root access to it but
would prefer not to modify it if there's a better way to make it get
the domain name.
The MyBookWorld.local system does know it's on isbd.net because it's
resolv.conf file has:-
search isbd.net
nameserver 192.168.1.4
