I did that on gnome and desktop with appropriate changes:
192.168.7.20 desktop.monet desktop
192.168.7.67 gnome.monet gnome

I did that on gnome and desktop.

All commands are issued from gnome.

We expect that result because ping uses files in /etc/nsswitch.
root@gnome:~# exim -bt brian@desktop
R: dnslookup for brian@desktop
brian@desktop is undeliverable: Unrouteable address
root@gnome:~# exim -bt brian@desktop.monet
R: dnslookup for brian@desktop.monet
brian@desktop.monet is undeliverable: Unrouteable address
Am I the only one who gets this? No capability to deliver mail to
desktop. What am I doing wrong?
