Why not .fuckapple? Really, .local is defined for local address, if Apple is using it in a fucked up way this is an Apple problem.

.dev was never destined for local address, it was just because it wasn't registered in ICANN yet.




Apple is adhering to the standard in RFC 6762. .local is intentionally meant for multicast DNS, Apple is doing things correctly.


Nope, yeah Apple should try to resolve mDNS queries, however it shouldn't ignore local DNS requests or make them a lower priority.
