FQDN overrides hostname (this makes some sense since FQDN is a newer
facility, so one can assume that a FQDN is authoritative, with hostname
left only for servers which don't implement FQDN).
It would help me if you could just check that FQDN works with the
correct domain. The last logs you posted seemed to indicate that the
problem was just a mismatch between the domain part of the FQDN and the
domain configured in dnsmasq. If the FQDN was indeed correct, then there
might be a bug in FQDN handling in dnsmasq. If so, let me know and give
me the version of dnsmasq you're using and I'll take a look.
Cheers,
Simon.
