>There's already .local for your use,

No? Yeah at one point a lot of us used that one, but it was never official and has long since been eaten by mDNS. And with ICANN happily selling off whatever TLDs anyone wants you can’t count on anything unused and unreserved either. Local only DNS TLD use has been explicitly discouraged if anything, which has long been intensely irritating and argued over. Ones like .test are reserved but aren’t intended and don’t read as being for permanent deployment purposes on intranets. Official req has been to buy a legit TLD and use that.




Isn't .local reserved by RFC 6762?
