.local is a concept of multicast DNS. If the host.local speaks
mDNS, it should be responding to those replies for itself. This
works find for a small shared LAN. <br>
<br>
If you have a distributed / firewalled network that isn't passing
mDNS between segments, that is probably causing your problem. In
this situation, don't use ".local".</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>

<div dir="ltr"> I've set up a bind9 server ( Ubuntu ) for a

correctly resolving the corp.local domain even though I'm

just fine, just not the .local. I can access with

<div>Anyone seen this or have a link? Googling "linux bind9
