i think it should be solved to make configfiles local dns resolved only, if
at all it needs to be dns
so cf changes to cf.localdomain or cf.localhost, not just use cf with is a

is cf.local valid and where ?
i have not maked a bug on it yet, but will start here to hear what should be
done
Changing the configuration file naming standard is a non-trivial change
that will affect every single user of SA and require that they rename
files.
As Grant noted, DNS and filesystems are different namespaces. I'll admit a
filename can look like a domain name - that's been the case with
DOS/Windows since .COM was defined as a TLD.
How is that *practically* a problem? When does anyone do DNS lookups on SA
config filenames?
A specific case of this being a problem will be needed for such a change
to even be considered.
