As I understand it, you are not supposed to use any private domain 
names. Otherwise ICANN would have reserved a specific domain name for 
private use, just like there are private IP adresses. So if you use an 
unregistered domain name you are on your own and have to live with the 
consequences if it gets assigned for something else. If you want to 
avoid that the domain name of your LAN is in use or gets "stolen" by 
someone else, you should register a domain.
