Do NOT use *.local names for your home network unless you are using mDNS

So I just finished an adventure documented in this neighboring card: systemd-resolved global DNS vs link DNS.

I was trying to use *.local domain names, but those are reserved for mDNS and many computers and devices will not use your provided name server to resolve them!

The correct answer is to use *.home.arpa as I describe in Setting up the .home.arpa domain with OpenBSD’s unbound.
