Domain name suffix woes

Example problem -
We have a domain with following DNS records
330.domain.com CNAME 330.blah.domain.com
330.blah.domain.com A 10.0.1.2
foo.domain.com A 10.0.2.2
Now, when I set `search domain.com` in /etc/resolv.conf, I can use SSH to
connect to foo like this
`ssh user at foo`
and I can connect to the 330 A record like this
`ssh user at 330.blah`
However I cannot connect to the 330.domain.com via
`ssh user at 330` - That gets me an error:
ssh: connect to host 330 port 22: Invalid argument
I'm assuming that when the hostname is pure number, it ignores domain
suffix. As just a number cannot be an actual IP, could this behavior be
fixed in OpenSSH?
Thanks, Martin
