how about ".notglobal", or simply ".not".   The critical attribute is that
the name is NOT part of the guaranteed to unique global namespace.

I also think it might be useful to have another name: ".linklocal".

fwiw,

IMHO, I think this is a good idea.  I can remember 10 years ago when Prime
computer setup a private network that wrapped around the world with
thousands upon thousands of nodes within it. Would have been marvelous then
as well as now.

As far as the suffix is concerned, my own opinion would be to use: '.intra'.

Everyone is familiar with the word Intranet vs. Internet so it makes sense
to me to base the phrase-oligy on something familiar.

     | I have received a request to change "local" in
     | draft-ietf-dnsind-local-names-07.txt.  In particular, the
     | correspondent
     | said:
     |
     |
     | ... I do prefer another name though. Something like .intra or
     | .internal. These names associate better with the meaning of an
     | internal network. Moreover, internal networks of big
     | companies tend to
     | have a global coverage rather then a local one.  .Intra or .internal
     | nicely fit into:
     |     www.mycompany.com is for our international customers,
     |     www.mycompany.nl aims at customers in The Netherlands,
     |     etc.
     |     www.mycompany.intra aims at the employee's of the company.
     |
     |
     | Does anyone on namedroppers have an opinon on this?
     |
