The ".local" TLD is used with mDNS and in conflict with Microsoft Active
Directory for an internal-only TLD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

It is better to use "exchange.example.com" for a suitable value of
"example.com".

But surely only relevant if you have some windoid admin whose setup used ..local.

I use .local because Bonjour does 99% of the work for me, and I don't do Windows.

oh please. This has nothing to do with windows. Linuxers are worst at this.

I'll repeat myself. .local is not a reserved suffix. nor is
..localdomain, despite what linuxers seem to believe. using such domains
is a hijack. you are telling the IETF: we decided to use these suffixes
and you cannot use them anymore. This is unacceptable. chose your camp...

I know we're getting off-topic, but this has bothered me in the past.
What is the alternative here? As far as I know, there are no "correct"
reserved domains. Is one bad choice worse than another?
