domain.local

[Sten Carlsen]

Hi

I used .local as my tld, it worked fine with bind until I got a MAC.
The tld .local is reserved for service discovery at least for MACs in a 
system called mDNS (muticast DNS). The result was that the MAC would not 
resolve much, the rest worked fine.

The only solution I could find was to change to .home and then later to 
a "real" domain name, also for public use.
