For years .local has been universally used on lans for local only, non-routeable resolution. Changing this to something else because Apache can't handle it means I have to break other stuff.
Is it actually a stone cold fact that Apache can't cope with .local as I don't see any documentation explaining it? The one thing I'm sure of is it would be documented somewhere as the project documentation is mostly excellent. The reason for being specific on this is I have a test Microsoft IIS 6 box (for ASP development) that happily handles msbox.local on the host header - so I'm inclined to think this could just be a plain old bug in the version I have. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
