Marcus, I think OS X way of handling the situation is better. There are
some reasons for that. I called some months ago to North-West
Telecom(one of the biggest internet providers in Saint Petersburg).
Customer support engineer said that they could remove the DNS zone only
for artificial persons. So the company protects own profit preventing
use of Active Directory for contracts with natural persons, because
price for artificial persons is higher usually. I said him(or her, I
didn't remember who it was) that the zone hindered for Ubuntu and Mac OS
users, but him(her) had nothing to say me. And the second advantage for
OS X way is current situation with torrent trackers. There are lots of
providers that introduced retracker.local domain with incorrect DNS
server settings. They set up whole .local zone instead of only
retracker.local. So the providers disturb peoples who even doesn't use
torrents.
