Not possible.

Actually, I'm talking for the general public and using AD to encompass
the non-internet domain aspects that go back as far as NT 3.51. That
pushes it back to 1994 or thereabouts.
Microsoft was using terminology like a "Domain Controller" and then just
sort of lumped in Internet stuff and didn't really differentiate the
two. It leads to a lot of confusion even today.
I consider .local to be officially grandfathered as an internal-use TLD
akin to non routing IPv4 space like 192.168.X and 10.X albeit not as
based in standards.
