In The Public-Root there used to exist a domain ".local". I know at least
of one ISP who complained we did break a lot of windowed PCs.
I dont know why queries for ".local" would leave their private LANs and
reach even our root servers. They did!
That is why we set up a dummy and returned localhost, to get rid of those
bogus queries. That is what finally broke their windows and dropped our
root server traffic some 25%. :)
I don't think this has anything to do with mDNS or LLMNR.
