I would recommend against funky things on .local. It’s not a great idea either. I recommend just using a subdomain on a TLD you control.

- jwilk 9y agoWhat's funky about .local? It's an officially-registered special-use domain: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762
- okket 9y agoThe .local TLD is reserved for mDNS requests, as the RFC states?
- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoFor the purpose of that RFC you linked.
- X-Istence 9y agoIf you use mDNS to publish things into .local then you are using it for what it was designed for. I wrote such a tool: https://github.com/bertjwregeer/mdns-announce https://github.com/bertjwregeer/mdns-announce It allows you to easily announce CNAME's in mDNS to do the sort of dev testing locally that requires alternate domains, without the possibility of leaking them outside of your own local network.
