My understanding of having addresses in the global DNS is that the AAAA records essentially announce that such addresses are globally reachable (with the exception of routing failure). However, in the case of local addresses this is a bit of false advertising. So shouldn't we recommend that such addresses are not to be advertised in the global DNS? Otherwise, why are they called "local addresses"?
