DNS suffix - AD domain

I believe I posted this in the right area. Sorry if it is not
Defining the environment
Fedora machines in a Active Directory Domain.
AD domain windows.test.net
Windows machine bob joined to AD will be bob.windows.test.net

linux machines
labeled machines such as bob would be boblaptop.linux.test.net

DHCP assigns a IP configurations such as GW, DNS, WINS, and an IP to the client.

to continue the example
bob.windows.test.net gets 10.1.1.15 VIA dhcp
boblaptop.linux.test.net gets 10.1.1.19 VIS dhcp

nslookup of 10.1.1.15 resolves with bob.windows.test.net
nslookup of 10.1.1.19 resolves with boblaptop.windows.test.net

I can see in AD where you append the computer name with the DNS suffix of the domain but the linux machines are not apart of the domain. how/why are their fqdn changing?
