Knee-jerk reaction: .local is reserved for mDNS/DNS-SD crap, and GUI systems can get confused if you use it. Recommend .lan instead.
Locally, I like to use invalid. for local-only DNS domains. All IETF-reserved TLDs: 'example.', 'invalid.', 'localhost.', and 'test.'. Those are guaranteed to _never_ crop up in any even vaguely standards-compliant software.
Ah, thanks for reminding me -- I had forgotten I started using .invalid at home a couple of years ago.
