ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain to do the same job as 192.168.x.x

The plan is to keep the world at bay by never recording it in the DNS root – like many already do with a subdomain for an intranet

Don’t we already have .local for that?

  Is 192.168.x.x not reserved for local networks? I’m pretty sure it isn’t used for public addresses. That link specifically says don’t use .local for public dns, use it for local mdns.
  
  You get into trouble when people spin up AD at corp.local and then it grows and grows.
  Rfc1918 defines 192.168 as internal only, yes.
