When should .local be used?
- by hydroparadise
So, I've set up a few Win Servs in my time and always did the .local thing when there was a router that sepearated my internal from external networks. Now that I'm setting up an *nix box for the first time, does this concept still apply? Do I still want my FQDNs (/etc/hostname) to show .local or .com for all my machines (mixed: linux servers, win workstations) inside of my network.
This question comes in context of always having Active Directory hold my hand every step of the way, where now I'm setting up an DNS machine manually.
