    I was using .local, but it ran into too many conflicts with an mDNS service I host and vice versa. I switched to .lan, but I’m certainly not going to switch to .internal unless another conflict surfaces.

    I’ve also developed a host-monitoring solution that uses mDNS, so I’m not about to break my own software. 😅

        Yeah, that’s why I started using .lan.

      Yeah, I don’t really have a use at home for mDNS. None that I can think of, anyway. Pretty sure I was using it before MDNS was a thing.

        Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can’t imagine having a lan without mDNS

          Oh. Internal hosts, I just setup on my own DNS… No need for that. Printer, can’t say I’ve ever had a problem.
