The character count. lan is 3 char, home.arpa is 9. Subjectively, tt is also aesthetically unappealing.
I can't fucking _wait_ to type bender.home.arpa instead of bender.lan. Hyped.

Then use search domain and let your DHCP and DHCP6 server hand that out to clients.
or we could just not publicly delegate a defacto private space?
Search domain is handy but it's ambiguous.
> use search domain
I don't know what this means, and searching is thorny. Help?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_domain
Your DHCP/SLAAC RA tells clients "here is a list of search domains, when you attempt to query a bare name, also look for the name plus any suffixes listed in the search domain list". So on a system with "home.arpa" in the search domains, you can do something like 'ping myhost' and your system should attempt to resolve 'myhost.home.arpa'.
