.local vs .com

I have recently installed a SBS 2003 and a 2003 DC created a new domain.
both servers list a name of servername.domainname.local not .com. .com was
what I meant to have but I have been told .local will appear if .com is not
specified. In the DNS zones on each DC the reverse lookup zones match
displaying the two subnets. The forward lookup zone on the SBS server has
_msdc, domainname.com and domainname.local. The forward lookup zone on the
2003 DC has only domainname.local. I am receiving messages that replication
can't occur basically because the zones/partition can't be transfered. I
have seen articles mentioning Creating a new partition under DNS forward
lookup zones and the option is available. A mail server in located inside
and remote users connect to it for webmail. Additionally, laptop users
report extremely slow connection speeds on the internal network. All PCs
were joined to domainname and I am not sure whether .com was specified. I
have a couple of questions first. Does it matter whether .com or .local is
used? Second, if I need to change the .local to .com, what is the process?
