   @Stellar .lan isn't reserved, so ICANN can assign .lan for usage on the DNS if they want.
   
   It seems that ICANN is planning to reserve .internal for LAN usage only, meaning local DNS will become slightly less broken (took them long enough).
   
   Other tld's like .local are already used by mDNS for example.

     Very good news: #ICANN is going to define a new special #TLD "internal" meant for use in internal networks only. This TLD is meant to never be used in the broader #Internet. 👍

     I hope #router vendors will now react so that those hacky config #domains like "fritz.box" will be replaced with something that ends with ".internal". Those hacky domains always left a bad taste in my mouth.

     It's not 100% official yet but the chances look good.
