Understanding DNS Resolution on Linux and Kubernetes

>>fanf2+(OP)
People need to stop using .local or .dev for stuff like this. .dev is an actual TLD in the root zone and .local is for multicast DNS.

ICANN has said they will never delegate .internal and it should be used for these kinds of private uses.

I'm a coauthor on this Internet draft so I'm ofc rather biased.

Does reusing it cause any problem for the mDNS, or does mDNS usage cause problem for the internal-domains usage?

A lot of default configurations won't bother looking up .local hostnames on your DNS server and will only issue an mDNS query. This can often be changed but can be annoying to have to ensure it gets configured correctly everywhere.

And then when you reconfigure it, depending on the stack it won't bother querying mDNS at all if a DNS resolver responds.
