All I am really looking to do is learn DNS and BIND as well as host my own local DNS server for faster DNS lookups within my home network. Would using the invalid LAN domain have any negative afters on my web or ftp server? I am really new at BIND, sorry if I seem clueless. Thank you for taking the time to help me out.
