Hi,

My 2003 AD environment has a .com and a .local.
What is the .local?

It's called the TLD, or Top Level Domain name. Internally a private TLD can
be anything you want it to be, from .com, local, .rick, .anything. To
simplify administrative overhead, it is actually suggested to use a
different name than the public domain name.

I hope that answered your question.
