[aklug] internal domain name recommendation

I am setting up a Linux server as a test to expand my current client recommendations to include Linux servers.
With Windows servers, it is recomended that you use internal domain names such as domainname.local. All the documentation I look at for Linux shows domain names as .com, or .net
In the Windows world using a .com or .net as your network domain name can cause problems with DNS (unless you use sub-domains such as company.domainname.com). Is this the case with Linux servers? Should I keep using .local (or other variant) or is it safe (and more reliable) to use a .net (or similar) domain naming?
Thank you,
Ryan Mooney
