Marcus, I think OS X way of handling the situation is better. There are some reasons for that. I called some months ago to North-West Telecom(one of the biggest internet providers in Saint Petersburg). Customer support engineer said that they could remove the DNS zone only for artificial persons. So the company protects own profit preventing use of Active Directory for contracts with natural persons, because price for artificial persons is higher usually. I said him(or her, I didn't remember who it was) that the zone hindered for Ubuntu and Mac OS users, but him(her) had nothing to say me. And the second advantage for OS X way is current situation with torrent trackers. There are lots of providers that introduced retracker.local domain with incorrect DNS server settings. They set up whole .local zone instead of only retracker.local. So the providers disturb peoples who even doesn't use torrents.
