Holy wayback machine ... though what you quoted seems to be still valid.
The "Local Domain" checkbox determines a dnsmasq configuration for whether the
listed Domain is part of an upstream DNS zone or to create an independent local
DNS zone.
It would appear a Domain of "ipcsolutions.local" would have Local Domain
checked (the default). with a thought:
1) Years ago using .local caused issues in some cases with clients using mDNS,
Zeroconf, not sure if that is problem anymore, I'm suspecting newer OS client's
are OK.
