I recall .local being used a loooong time ago. It used to be that .local was absolutely the recommended method for small private networks. From googling around it seems there is a lot of nonsense about using .local versus using a subdomain. The only decent reason I can think of for not using .local is if you want to get SSL certs for intranet hosts in which case using .local would not be appropriate and it seems recently CAs will no longer issue certs for made-up TLDs. Otherwise, it looks like Apple just highjacked .local for mDNS.
