Gregory's Server@sindastra @bekopharm I agree that you wouldn't want to use ".local" as a DNS domain tho. That way leads to annoying device discovery failure, such as printers not working.

 @bekopharm @kepstin Oh, you two mean not to use ".local" as that "find domain"? As in, fine for mDNS but not for the default in LAN?  @sindastra @bekopharm exactly; ".local" and a few special ranges of arpa reverse-dns domains are reserved for special use by RFC6762 and should not be used for anything other than Multicast DNS. The special handling for these domains is described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6762#section-22.1 - includes things like that DNS libraries and DNS servers should recognize the domain and refuse to forward/resolve queries for it.  @bekopharm @kepstin @sindastra @sindarina And although .mail, .corp and .home were rejected as gTLD, they could still be assigned in the future, if enshittification goes forth. |
