| JonathanD | Morning v2. | 12:54 |
| teddy-dbear | o/ | 12:54 |
| ChinnoDog | Anyone have a favorite intranet domain suffix and can tell me why you picked it? | 15:57 |
| ChinnoDog | e.g. ssweeny.local | 15:57 |
| ChinnoDog | or pleia2.lan | 16:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Oh. If I use .local then the computers identity could be confusing since it is used by OSX computers that are not on any domain | 16:04 |
| pleia2 | people actually use them? | 16:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Yes | 16:09 |
| ChinnoDog | I am already administering servers on .lan and .local domains for customers | 16:10 |
| pleia2 | that explains the exchange servers I see pouring .local adresses on to the internet | 16:11 |
| pleia2 | always wondered about that | 16:12 |
| ChinnoDog | http://stats.l.root-servers.org/cgi-bin/dsc-grapher.pl?window=604800&plot=qtype_vs_all_tld&server=L-root | 16:12 |
| ChinnoDog | It is used by OSX for workstations not on a domain, a recommended best practice for MS for intranet domains, and I think it might even be default in the Ubuntu hosts file as an alias for the local workstation. | 16:13 |
| pleia2 | I'm familiar with the tld allocation, I just didn't realize people were actually using it ;) | 16:14 |
| pleia2 | now I'm curious about lan naming practices, I can't find documented that the .local tld is actually reserved for this purpose (or at all) | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | I've always used real names that just weren't world routable | 19:51 |
| * pleia2 has phone.alderaan.princessleia.com etc | 19:52 | |
| JonathanD | pleia2: I don't think they're reserved, exactly. | 19:58 |
| JonathanD | It was assumed no one would use them. | 19:58 |
| pleia2 | well, you don't /need/ to reserve 192.168 if you're the governing body giving out addresses either, but they do :) | 20:01 |
| JonathanD | Despite not being a valid top-level domain in the Internet, considerable DNS traffic exists, querying the local domain in the public Domain Name System.[1] In June 2009, the L root server received more than 400 such queries per second,[2] ranking 4th in DNS traffic of all TLDs after COM, ARPA, and NET. | 20:07 |
| pleia2 | yeah well, people also query localhost :) | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | certainly seems to be a popular thing | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | and people should probably stop leaking internal dns requests all over the internet, that's not very good form | 20:09 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2: petition for a new rule. Deny DNS service to clients that search for hosts at invalid tlds. | 20:28 |
| ChinnoDog | I guess you could also build a DNS server that ignores them | 20:29 |
| ChinnoDog | Or create a .local offender blacklist. haha | 20:29 |
