What top-level domain do you use in your local network? (alien.top)

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 have a registered domain and my lan domain is "int.registereddomain.com". This way I can use letsencrypt etc for my internal hosts (*.int.registereddomain.com via dns challenge). The actual dns for my internal domain itself is not public but static records in pihole.

I want to do this, but I have no clue how to set it up on Asustor AS6706T. I’ve got a bunch of docker apps up and running and I’d like to simplify stuff with subdomains and better ssl. The whole self signed stuff is just a whole project in itself to work right.
