A sensible compromise that I have seen other companies use is to take
their xyzpdq.com, and remove the .com ... so the internal domain is
.xyzpdq , and the public domain is xyzpdq.com. Another one I have seen
is .internal .  Like I said, .local is already taken, and leads to
problems like this one :)
