For local DNS
home.arpais I think what we're 'supposed' to use, but I use .lanOnly use another domain name if you actually have it registered, like
myname.netor something. As a bonus you can then get a wildcard letsencrypt SSL cert for easy HTTPS.Why should you only use ones you own, even if it's just local network?
Because of interference with existing domains. Say you set a computer on your network to
mypc.google.com, that won't work because the DNS server will lookup google.com as an external domain.
