BIND: How to reply rev lookup with hostname and not FQDN

Hello geniuses!

I'm running SL carbon here and BIND. There is one piece of software I need
to install, that is failing as follows:

When I configure its TCP/IP settings, the hostname I give to it is ucm9pub
(I can't even add the domain name, it rejects the dots). From a packet
capture I see the response from the DNS server as hostname.domain.ext, and
that is why I believe the install fails the reverse lookup.

How can I reduce the response from BIND to spit out only the hostname?
Like, just ucm9pub instead of ucm9pub.domain.ext?

Thanks!
