Yes. Append a DNS Suffix Search List for all your DNS domains to your
Windows XP clients DNS Suffix search list order under TCP/IP properties.
By using an explicit DNS suffix search list pushed out by GPO, use of a
short name allows the machine to attempt resolution with each entry in the
search list. Set this via a Domain GPO.

Default Domain Policy
Computer Configuration
Adminsitrative Templates
Network
DNS Client
DNS Suffix Search List: Enabled
