No thanks. I get some people agreed to this, but I’m going to continue to use
.lan
, like so many others. If they ever register.lan
for public use, there will be a lot of people pissed off.IMO, the only reason not to assign a top-level domain in the RFC is so that some company can make money on it. The authors were from Cisco and Nominum, a DNS company purchased by Akamai, but that doesnt appear to be the reason why.
.home
and.homenet
were proposed, but this is from the mailing list:- we cannot be sure that using .home is consistent with the existing (ab)use
- ICANN is in receipt of about a dozen applications for “.home”, and some of those applicants no doubt have deeper pockets than the IETF does should they decide to litigate

So, corporate fear.

I just use openssl"s built in management. I have scripts that set it up and generate a
.lan
domain, and instructions for adding it to clients. I could make a repo and writeup if you would like?As the other commenter pointed out,
.lan
is not officially sanctioned for local use, but it is not used publicly and is a common choice. However you could use whatever you want.
