[Dnsmasq-discuss] Unable to connect by hostname for local machines

I am trying to setup dnsmasq so that I can use the OpenDNS servers for
my younger children, and then have all other devices use a different dns
server (Google's).
The program that I am having is that I cannot use the hostname of any of
my local devices to connect, I can only do it via the ip address. This
happens with my ubuntu server, and osx machines. My windows laptop does
not have an issue, and can ping other devices by hostname.
As far as I can tell, all else is working properly. The devices that
are supposed to use OpenDNS are, and the ones that should use google's
dns are.
My setup:
* tomatousb on my router
* dnsmasq is version 2.61
* static dns set to the OpenDNS ips
* static ips assigned to the machines I want to use the google dns servers
* dynamic ips assigned to the machines to use the OpenDNS servers. Set
to the range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199
Options set for dnsmasq:
# Range of IPs that are set up as static (computers that should have
unrestricted DNS)
dhcp-range=set:green,192.168.1.10,192.168.1.99
dhcp-option=net:green, 3, 192.168.1.1 #Assigns "green" gateway to these
clients
dhcp-option=net:green, 6, 8.8.8.8 #Assigns "green'" DNS server to these
clients (google).
Any ideas on what I need to do so that the devices in the ip range
192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.99 can use hostnames to connect to each
other? Is there any other information that is needed to understand this
issue?
Thanks
