LLMNR does not create additional DNS queries.
However, as folks have pointed out, having a lookup mechanism which
can also use real FQDN's has benefits compared to just restricting
to .local. The more difficult problem is being able to separate
"really owned FQDN" from "invented, bogus FQDN"... while not making
the problem worse by creating even more DNS traffic.
This mechanism would work on a list of TLDs to compare with. May be
the proper place to introduce a full TLD service where a istld(tld)
function would return a null string if it did not exist and the
proper tld to use otherwise. This would enforce a strict TLD aliasing
able to support an internationalised version of the existing TLDs for
full ML.ML names.
That function could be extended to isdn(dn.tld) where the dn could be
nullified if it did use only characters from the TLD associated
charset. This would address the homograph problem, since TLD Managers
can decide of their TLD charsets, but cannot impose them beyond their
own registration level.
