Hello list, |

Rich F said recently, "I'd avoid using the .local TLD due to RFC 6762." |
4 |
|
5 |
That brings me back to a thorny problem: what should I call my local network? |
6 |
It used to be .prhnet, but then a program I tried a few years ago insisted on |
7 |
a two-component name, so I changed it to .prhnet.local. |
8 |
|
9 |
Now I've read that RFC - well, Appendix G to it - and I'm scratching my head. |
10 |
I suppose it's possible that someone may want to connect an Apple device to my |
11 |
network, so perhaps I should clear the way for that eventuality. |
12 |
|
13 |
So, what TLD should I use? Should I use .home, or just go back to .prhnet? It |
14 |
isn't going to be visible to the Big Bad World, so does it even matter? |
15 |
