It's terrible that the spec doesn't reserve something like .localdomain that is unregisterable so that DNS servers can use it for internal use.
.test doesn't quite cut it.
- kzrdude 6y agoYou could propose this to be implemented, surely?
- CydeWeys 6y agoIt's already being proposed by one of my colleagues. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal-00 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal-00 It does seem much, much more likely that .internal will be definitely reserved for this purpose than that it will ever be delegated as an actual real TLD. If you have to pick a fake TLD to use that isn't one of the 4 mentioned in RFC 2606 that has the best chance of actually being reserved for this purpose in the future, then .internal is it.
