Newer versions of glibc (contained already in SUSE9.2/SLES9) assume
multicast for .local names. You can pretty easily do a binary edit
on libresolv.so and change the name to something other than local.
IMHO, they should not have hard coded the behavior.
Nearly every M$ admin is trained to use .local for local AD domains.
