[Leaplist] DNS intranet advice

[Dan Cherry]

I'm using bind9, and currently everything is working with 2 local zones.

One called local., the other 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa

Everything seems to be working okay (with the known exception of avahi, which 
seems to choke on .local)

I'm about to change .local to something like .internal, .int, .home, or 
whatever.  But is there any advantage to using any particular name (remember 
this is internal behind a Linksys router)?  Or for that matter using two 
names such as 'myhome.internal'?

It appears that I'll only need to change the names of .local in the two zones, 
and everything else should remain the same.

Then a change to host names, mail configs, etc should complete the task.

Any advice, or anything I'm missing?

(Also, John, I'll consider trying djbdns, but if I switch, i'll have to start 
from scratch - vs. making two fairly simple changes to two files I'm already 
familiar with - so I'll need to find some decent tutorials.)

Thanks,
Dan
