Are you certain Windows is using DNS? It has a habit of also using the 
domain name services (typically Wins) to do its name resolution as well.

Does the netbios cache on the Windows machine contain the machine name, try:
nbtstat -c

I'm sure there used to be a command like "nmblookup" or similar to do a 
NetBios lookup on Windows, but I can't find it any more.

I believe that Linux will fail to find it unless you specifically add 
the stores.<removed> domain to resolv.conf:

   search hq.<censored>.com stores.<censored>.com
   nameserver 10.89.17.84

That way it will try looking for burner.hq.<xx>.com & 
burner.stores.hq.<xx>.com
