Domain.local solves the issue but is not as seamless as using ad.domain.com,
if you have the ad subdomain delegated in the public zone. If you don't
delegate the ad subdomain in the public zone there is little change because
ad.domain.com is still not resolved in the public domain and still requires
the use of hosts files to help resolve the names.
If you use ad.domain.com and the name is delegated in the public domain to
the DNS servers for the AD domain by their private IP addresses, it becomes
totally seamless once the VPN is connected. Without the VPN connected the
delegation is useless because the private IPs don't work without the VPN
connection, it just becomes a dead end connection.
