Did both. This is from the workstation's /etc/ssh/ssh_config:

And you're actually typing "ssh foobar.lan", then? Not "ssh foobar"?

No, it's finding the FQDN from /etc/resolv.conf & /etc/hosts. That's not
the problem. "ssh foobar" does get to the foobar host.

That doesn't matter. ssh(1) matches what you actually TYPE, not what
the hostname resolves to in DNS. Example:

imadev:~$ tail -2 .ssh/config
Host vandev.eeg.ccf.org
User qwerty

imadev:~$ host vandev
vandev.eeg.ccf.org has address 10.76.142.101

imadev:~$ ssh vandev
RSA host key for IP address '10.76.142.101' not in list of known hosts.

imadev:~$ ssh vandev.eeg.ccf.org
RSA host key for IP address '10.76.142.101' not in list of known hosts.
qwerty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
