The Register: ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain to do the same job as 192.168.x.x

I thought .local was standardized for this purpose, turns out it’s not! Even worse actually, it’s registered by IANA and IETF as used for the mDNS protocol, so TIL that using it as an internal network domain is actually bad practice. It seemed the good practice was to use registered TLDs even for internal-only services (so with subdomains on a real registered domain?), but an officially dedicated domain that’s planned to never be added to the root DNS zones might change this
@Siph isn't .local a zeroconf feature? I have never set up a .local domain
