For the last couple of years my system works in office LAN with .local domain using this line in nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns mdns4 wins
Both hostname.local (avahi) and hostname.domain.local (domain) machine hostnames are being resolved normally. I didn't experience any troubles with this setup.
