Of course it doesn't. You can also go ahead and use some of Amazon's |
8 |
AWS IP space to number your home network too if you want. Just don't |
9 |
be surprised when random websites break when they try to load stuff |
10 |
and the HTTP GET goes to your television instead of the webserver it |
11 |
is hosted on. If you want to name your mail server google.com that |
12 |
works fine too, assuming you're not too attached to being able to use |
13 |
the real Google. |

Your DNS will work fine if you use .local. It just means that you |
16 |
can't also use mDNS, and if at some point you change your mind about |
17 |
your decision you have to go and reconfigure everything to use a |
18 |
different DNS name which of course sort-of defeats the purpose of |
19 |
using DNS in the first place. |

21 |
Use whatever domain name you want. I'm just pointing out that this |
22 |
particular one is used for other things that are mainly useful around |
23 |
the house. If want to live like it is 1982 feel free to stick to DNS |
24 |
the way it was always meant to be... ;) |
