I'm very sorry but I have to disagree with this. By using .local, what
one is saying is "this is my local private network. I wish to use this
suffix for it. If you want to use it elsewhere in the future, then that
is ok, and I'll face the consequences then." There is nothing illegal
about calling a private network anywhere. You could give your local
private network a .gov address and I still think that would be ok....
