@caseyneiba 'name.local' still happens on Windows networks a lot, yes, because it was all over the tutorials for a long time, and there's still plenty of admins who keep doing it.
The alternative is to register a ‘network domain’, specifically for use on the LAN/WAN. Like, for example, if your corporate website is at 'example.com’, you could put your Active Directory domain at 'example.net’, or some other variation on a recognisable name. There's a ‘.computer’, ‘.network’, and a ‘.systems’ gTLD now too, so there's plenty of options.
Just never pick one you don't control, like ‘corp.com’ 😄
