Hi,

for your project right now that's propably the best solution to go.
And I know for most participants of this list this is also the best solution, 
but I still want to argue for the other way:

If you have (for example for security reasons) a completly seperated internal 
network (only connected through DMZ/proxy/firewall but not directly routed) 
then there should be a general solution for this problem like it is there on 
layer three: For IPv4 everybody know, the range 10/8 is for internal use and 
such a thing should exist (defined via RFC) for DNS as well, no matter if the 
name is corp or local or internal or whatever as long as there is one.

The argument, that you won't get a certificate for these names from someone who 
is regognized by your browser isn't valid: As you only would use such a 
internal domain for your internal network, you would have to create a internal 
CA anyway (and put it in your browsers).

This way you would have a clean split between internal world and the outside 
internet. 
The only situation where this wouldn't be advisable is if you face the 
possibility that the internal network at some point in time will be merged 
with the outside world.

In my opinion it's a pity that there is no reserved domainname for the private 
use.

Robert.
