Josh, >From that RFC: The IESG notes that this mechanism makes use of the .local top-level domain (TLD) internally when handling host names that don't contain any dots, and that this mechanism might not work in the expected way should an actual .local TLD ever be registered. Probably safe, but by no means assured at this point.

I have always been told, and in talking to others gotten the same feeling that ".local" would never be made a TLD. People make that assumption in recent RFCs... ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2965.txt -Josh
