Steve, nice find. I haven't really thought much about this file, it always seemed a bit of a relic of the time when there were individually-wired serial connections to different offices.
I believe for your actual use case, "LOCAL" is the better choice.
As for the rest of it, it feels like the solution would be removing DNS / names from the interface entirely. That's a pretty drastic change and probably not suitable.
Can we make this bug public? I believe it'd be easier to discuss with others if it were public.
