.local is reserved for Apple's multicast DNS stuff, which requires names to be resolved via a nonstandard method: Any DNS query for a name ending with ".local." MUST be sent to the mDNS IPv4 link-local multicast address 224.0.0.251 (or its IPv6 equivalent FF02::FB). Therefore anything that supports RFC 6762 will break if you name your domain ".local". Likewise, .localhost is reserved by RFC 6761 which says Users may assume that IPv4 and IPv6 address queries for localhost names will always resolve to the respective IP loopback address. ... Caching DNS servers SHOULD recognize localhost names as special and SHOULD NOT attempt to look up NS records for them, or otherwise query authoritative DNS servers in an attempt to resolve localhost names. In other words, anything that supports RFC 6761 will break if you name your domain ".localhost".
