I'll raise you another nitpick. .invalid is reserved by RFC6761 and in the IANA registry of Special-Use Domain Names, just like .local: http://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/special-use-domain-names.xhtml Either TLD string is probably good enough for the OP. As a general rule I'd avoid using .local for anything since that may have interesting interactions with Bonjour. It is highly advisable to only use TLD strings on the above list for internal purposes. If you pluck some other string out of the ether, there's always a risk that someone, somewhere will one day ask ICANN to create that string as yet another new gTLD. This is no different from just using some random chunk of address space that hasn't been assigned to you and hoping it isn't used for real somewhere else.
