| main security problem is resolver,
| $host -v www.local
| www.local
| www.local.mydomain.com

So the security problem you see is that if you have a domain called
«local» the entries in it might be spoofed due to how the resolver
works?

To the extent this is a bug, it's a bug in the resolver that it does not
treat names with dots in them as absolute, but relative.  I know this is
how it's been done in the past, but perhaps changing that to treating
names with as absolute would be a better solution.
