I’ve wanted to install pihole so I can access my machines via DNS, currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines, but that means that I have to copy the configuration to each machine independently which is not ideal.

I’ve seen some popular options for top-level domain in local environments are *.box or *.local.

I would like to use something more original and just wanted to know what you guys use to give me some ideas.

    I use home.arpa as the base dns as that play very well and are the official standard, then I have a domain for my reverse proxy. Of course I can use that domain for the whole network, but I like to split it up
