Title:
  Web pages with .local TLD will not load in a browser

Status in “nss-mdns” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Web pages with .local TLD will not load in a browser. A nslookup will
  reply back with the correct IP of the server, but when you attempt to
  access the site in a browser it will fail to load.

  EXAMPLE:

  In terminal: 
  ~$ nslookup myserver.mydomain.local
  Server:		127.0.1.1
  Address:	127.0.1.1#53
  Name:	nslookup myserver.mydomain.local
  Address: 10.0.0.50

  However, if you open a browser (tested Firefox and Chromium) and go to
  http://myserver.mydomain.local/ it will fail to load the page. It WILL
  however load the page if you change the URL to just http://myserver/ .

  The full web address http://myserver.mydomain.local/ works fine in
  Windows, Apple OS, iOS, Android, and other Linux varients such as
  CentOS. Just not in any of the Ubuntu flavors I have tried.
