RFC 6762 reserves the .local. TLD for Multicast DNS. There are no reservations for .lan. so something like home.arpa. should be used instead.

router.home vs router.home.arpa

.home.arpa is so clunky. Why do I have to put the acronym of a US military project in my domain to access resources on my own local network?
