From Bug #561813 comment #3

### begin quote bug #561813 comment #3
a (little) error occurs during standard network installation with YAST as - if
you change hostname.domain from .site (default) to .local no warning is given
that the domain .local should no longer be used as it is due to Multicast DNS
use.

In order to prevent other users from running into the same rusty knife as I did
please consider to move this report to another appropriate site in bugzillas
report sites.

As an alternative we have to offer the user the ability to disable multicast DNS via "mdns off" in /etc/host.conf.

Moving to component YaST as this issue happened in the YaST network configuration component.
