> and .local is for multicast DNS.

Does reusing it cause any problem for the mDNS, or does mDNS usage cause problem for the internal-domains usage?

A lot of default configurations won't bother looking up .local hostnames on your DNS server and will only issue an mDNS query. This can often be changed but can be annoying to have to ensure it gets configured correctly everywhere.

And then when you reconfigure it, depending on the stack it won't bother querying mDNS at all if a DNS resolver responds.
