Configuring Bind9

Configuring Bind9

I have a question, that I hope is simple.

Currently I have bind9 on my router and it's working fine.

I was wondering how to make it that when I type in a hostname into the browser/ping, that I don't need to put the FQDN.

Lets say I have an A record (This could just as well be a CNAME etc) that points
exampledomain > 192.168.1.5

So for example:
If I type in:
exampledomain

It will timeout, because the domain doesn't exist.

But, if I type in
exampledomain.mydomain.com

It will go to the IP address.

How can I set it up, that if it "assumes" I'm typing in the FQDN, before timing out etc?
