The .local domain is USED by several organizations!
Authored by: rcarmo on Feb 25, '03 07:42:25PM

This is easily one of the most boneheaded approaches to DNS I've seen from a vendor in a long while.

My experience with this is that 10.2 completely breaks hostnames like "x.corporate.local", which is fundamentally wrong.

I have had to resort to mangling the /etc/resolver/local file to get my mac to access internal sites, which is a plain stupid thing for Apple to force its corporate customers to do.

Apple should realize that .local is a perfectly reasonable suffix for an internal LAN within a large organization, and that corporates actually USE it.
