    Thanks this is helpful. So .local hasn’t been reserved for only on local LAN, and .internal would be registered so ot never looks outside of lan?

      .local is definitely local but it’s common for it to be used with mDNS primarily. To the second part of your question, yes that’s correct, since it will be reserved it will not be any public DNS server, even if it did look outside it wouldn’t find anything.
