    It would have been nice if they came up with something shorter like .lan.

      Oh, that’s LAN - I thought you’d put ian and I was trying to get the joke. Stupid sans-serif fonts.

    Why do I care what ICANN says I can do on my own network? It’s my network, I do what I want.

      Try using .com for your internal network and watch the problems arise. Their choice to reserve .internal helps people avoid fqdn collisions.
