[Dnsmasq-discuss] Strange problem with expand_hosts and ipv6 only host entries

[dnsmasq at phipps-hutton.freeserve.co.uk]

Hello,
I'm having problems getting dnsmasq to add the domain sufix to hosts  
in /etc/hosts that are ipv6 only. My conf has this:

local=/net.home/
expand-hosts
domain=net.home

My /etc/hosts has this:
# Hosts on the insecure wi-fi.
2001:8b0:1249:6349:76d4:35ff:fe8e:ac28 hal
192.168.1.254 skynet router 7public
192.168.1.4 hal firewall extranet
# Hosts on the secure LAN.
2001:8b0:1249::4 wopr failover http imap ldap mpd mysql nfs ntp proxy  
smtp syslog work wpad

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts.
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

# Legacy IPv4 adddresses.

As you can see I've got lots for aliases for wopr so I can (one-day)  
move servers around if I need to. DNS lookup for the aliases work OK  
but the ones with IPv6 only don't get the domain name added on:

OK: host smtp
smtp has IPv6 address 2001:8b0:1249::4

If I try with the domain added I get a complete failure:

OK: host smtp.net.home
Host smtp.net.home not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

but strangely this works:

OK: host -t aaaa smtp.net.home
smtp.net.home has IPv6 address 2001:8b0:1249::4


Other aliases with both IPv6 and IPv4 work OK:

OK: host http
http.net.home has address 192.168.0.4
http.net.home has IPv6 address 2001:8b0:1249::4

OK: host http.net.home
http.net.home has address 192.168.0.4
http.net.home has IPv6 address 2001:8b0:1249::4


Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,
Tim.
