That is about 1/3 of the total. It doesn't surprise me at all that so many bogus queries arrive - everybody who mistypes a TLD or misconfigures a default domain generates bogus queries, and this isn't going to change. The question is whether .local is a *significant* part of this load. The limited data I have suggest not, but I'd like to see publicly available data: what fraction of those NXDOMAINs are due to .local?
The question maybe should be whether .local will become, not is, a significant part of this load. If you prevent mDNS, the main proponent of the .local namespace, from becoming a standard, the number of those names will remain low. If it becomes a standard and implementers use that namespace more, the load will of course increase.
