I’ve wanted to install pihole so I can access my machines via DNS, currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines, but that means that I have to copy the configuration to each machine independently which is not ideal.

I’ve seen some popular options for top-level domain in local environments are *.box or *.local.

I would like to use something more original and just wanted to know what you guys use to give me some ideas.

    I read the answers and I am wondering if I should change what I do.

    I use the exact same domains and sundomains internally and externally. I simply have a DNS internally that will answer requests with local IP.

    So I don’t have to address my machines with a different name when I am outside or inside.

    Can someone explain to me what I missed ?
