Why is this bad practice?
I think having private top level domains makes sense (so long as they
don't conflict with 'real' toplevel domains of course). I have my
192.168.* machines on *.lan. Those with interfaces to the outside world
have real IP addresses and 'real' DNS names. This way same the machine
can have the same 'hostname' on the two networks:
eg. from pi, my little firewall box,
pi.seqn.net (public)
pi.seqn.lan (internal)
