.local already exists. More idiocy from ICANN.

.local exists for a very specific reason and it’s not meant to be used by regular DNS… people use it for alternate things, but it’s reserved for mDNS

if .internal were to be added, we could start using that instead of overloading!

.local is a bad choice especially if you have any MAC hosts on the network.

There is an RFC about that, but I'm too sleepy to goook it up
