Hi, As you know I am building a "home office" lab for PHP development and testing. I was not satisfied with the research I completed on "non-routeable" domains for a private network made up of "non-routeable" domains. In the distant past I used to use .dev for the TLD. From what I am reading this is not a good idea. According to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8375.html one should use "home.arpa.". They add a period to the end which I assume is the DNS domain name stop character when used in zone files. Any thoughts? I will not be using DNS. My needs are so simple I will be adding the IP and domain name in my host file, at least for now. I've read a lot about this subject. Some say to use a registered domain with a subdomain that is on a private IP. I really do not want to commingle public and private assets on the same domain. Any feedback is much appreciated!! Thanks!!
