Please don't cross post.
Use IP addresses or pick a different top level domain to usurp.
Putting mdns in the "order" creates a lot of problems. Instead of
opening that can of worms, mDNS uses the "local." top level domain to
indicate that the name has only local meaning and should be resolved
using mDNS.

Hello all,
We (Carnegie Mellon) have re-ip'd all of our access points and
wireless switches to use RFC 1918 addresses and have changed their dns
domain from sw.cmu.net to sw.cmu.local
Now we are seeing the following:
[TITAN:~] phill% host mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local
mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local has address 172.18.65.152
[TITAN:~] phill% telnet mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local
mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local: No address associated with nodename
Looking into a packet dump while telnetting shows my machine trying to
find the host via multicast dns.
Ideally there would be something like
/etc/hosts.conf
order bind,mdns,local
So, do I need to dig my hosts and telnet to them by IP?
