Yes, but "serve it locally" is just one way, and it has its own registry, which is not the case with the other ways. And it is inconsistent: the semantics of ".localhost" in RFC 6761 are "serve it locally" but it is not in the registry of locally-served zones. I'm glad I don't maintain a DNS resolver, it seems messy to just get a comprehensive list of domains that a resolver has to know by default, with the rules to follow. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
