I have the exact same problem on the home network I manage at my parents' house. The issue seems to be the Netgear Mr314v2 router in use. What router make/model do you have? Also make sure you have the latest firmware.
I attempted to get around the issue with with a DNS server, but couldn't convince the router to pass out the local DNS server IP with its DHCP credentials. The only solution would have been to turn off DHCP entirely and run DHCP and DNS both from my internal server, something I didn't want to do (it would break the network if the server went down). So right now I'm looking at getting a new router. Any ideas on router models that don't have this issue would be appreciated. Modifying /etc/hosts is *not* a solution because of laptops that are sometimes connected to other networks.
