The .local TLD is "reserved" for link-local names, in the context of
multicast DNS ("mDNS"), however, I don't think mDNS has progressed
beyond the Internet Draft stage of the IETF Standards Track process. See
http://www.multicastdns.org for latest updates.
It would be imprudent to use .local for anything other mDNS, due to the
possibility that mDNS might get on the Standards Track some day. Tell
the user that there are billions of other "private" TLDs from which to
choose.

I'm a bit confused by a user request. I think he is trying to keep
some hosts on the private side of DNS, but he wants to use a DNS name
like host.sub.local. I do not know of the use of the .local TLD except
in bonjure. Can anyone shed some light on the use of the .local TLD?
