It is worth to read the release notes of the system you use.

-->
"Change in Resolver Library
Incompatible change: the resolver library treats the .local top level
domain as link-local domain and sends multicast DNS requests to the
multicast address 224.0.0.251 port 5353 instead of normal DNS requests.
If you already use the .local domain in your nameserver configuration
you will have to switch to another domain name. See
http://www.multicastdns.org for more information on multicast DNS."
