There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?

    You shouldn’t use .local for your manually defined local domain names if you plan to ever use mdns/avahi/bonjour/zeroconf.

    There’s a draft rfc that defines “.home.arpa” as an internal. It looks stupid and totally misses the point, but works.

    *.internal.domain.name since ssl certs are easier to get when you’re using an owned domain name.

    I bought a .com for like $10 CAD from Cloudflare that uses a URL not linked to me.

    Maybe overly paranoid, but it also makes it easy to get SSL certificates for my lab.

    I use either .home or an actual domain that I own (makes it easy for https certs and not having to go out of the network and back in)

    I use different ones. Got an legit dpmain which I also use locally (with ssl certificates) and in my local network my server listens to SERVI. Just SERVI.

    hostname.vlan.local.lan

    local.lan is the only fixed part of my fqdn’s
