A company 'somecompany' is retiring WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) support. This means that where the IT staff used to be able to type:
ssh somehost
They now have to type:
ssh somehost.somecompany.com
WINS has been deprecated for years. Is there some other (preferably open source) way to implement name resolution, to simply type 'somehost' and have the lookup resolve to somehost.somecompany.com if the computer is on the somecompany.com network?
Typing those extra characters adds up.
