General setup - domain

[Panja]

In the General Setup of pfSense the following text is shown under domain:
"Do not use 'local' as a domain name. It will cause local hosts running mDNS (avahi, bonjour, etc.) to be unable to resolve local hosts not running mDNS.
e.g. mycorp.com, home, office, private, etc."

Does this apply to "name.local" as well?
So for instance "panja.local".

Or does this only apply to "local"?

name.local would be fine, since this is not .local

[Panja]

Thanks for the fast reply. Appreciated!

Will be using name.local than.

Cheers

why not use .lan ?
It's shorter and does the trick as well.

[Panja]

Could do that as well.

I use local.lan ;)
