@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 rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6762#sec - 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.
