In a word Yes. I prefer to use the same TLD for my AD zones rather
than using something.local etc. This is because when I have used this
in the past, I find that Exchange quite often pumps this out in the
headers of messages (i.e, the Message-ID etc), which to me at any rate
looks very unprofessional. I am aware of the issues with doing this
(namely DNS issues), and know how to work round them. The only issue
with this is that if you want to run a public DNS system as well as a
private DNS system on the Microsoft DNS server, this just isn't
possible, but in most situations I don't use the MS DNS server for
public DNS hosting anyway, so again not an issue. I have also seen a
lot of people use AD domains which are, for example, shorter than
their original domains, but are actually valid domains, and sometimes
are actual registered domains. There is no excuse for doing this if
they don't own the domain themselves.
