Domain "MyDomain.Local" issue - DNS / DHCP / mDNS / Apple
-
IMHO, I would have blocked mDNS on the network and forced DNS
How exactly would you do that on a LAN segment?
On the switch.
I know, but you're assuming a switch capable of that.

I'm assuming a lot of things in this thread, that's just one of them. If the OP is in an environment as a network admin and cannot change the architecture of the network because of policy, then you can assume they have L2/L3 capable switches. Might actually be a combination of assuming and wishful thinking.
Additionally, you can block IPv6 on the network. mDNS, or at least Apple's implementation of it, initially tries to use IPv6 and then eventually fails to IPv4. Apple doesn't tell anyone that, but if you start blocking IPv6 on your LAN, your Apple products will start to get cranky.
