Re: server setup question

I have my own domain, so I use a subdomain that is not on my public dns
servers for internal use. You can use anything in the domain part but you
really don't want there to ever be a possibility of a collision with a real
world domain. .lan is a common default, .localdomain was also frequently
used and ive seen .home used as well.

If you do have your own domain just make up a subdomain that works for you.
in my case I am using .ad.(mydomain).net because I am playing with
samba-ad-dc
