we used to call it .independantmix (the name of the company at the 
time), but that got ridiculous. .im, as far as I know, is not in use, 
and even if it is, I find it extremely unlikely that we will ever need a 
site from that domain. If I', wrong, I'll change the internal domain. 
.lan, as described by someone else, is a goot choice.

To further the ridicule, the full name of ls1.im (my domain server) was 
linuxserver1.independentmix.
