Everything about Local totally explained
.local is a
pseudo-top-level domain used by the
mDNS network discovery protocol. It is also often used by administrators of
Microsoft Windows Active Directory environments as the top-level
DNS domain for an internal company network that isn't intended to be reachable directly from the outside world. If a computer running
Mac OS X isn't assigned a domain name by the DNS server, it'll identify itself as "
hostname.local". The host name can be set in the Sharing
Preference Pane.
Name resolution issues can arise if Bonjour and/or Multicast-DNS is used in conjunction with a DNS network with a .local domain, therefore
.localhost or
.test could be used as an alternative to .local.
