local domain: When you attach your LAN to the Internet, it gets your ISP’s domain name. It becomes effectively part of your ISP’s domain. So for example, all Shaw Cable customers in Victoria become part of the gv.shawcable.net domain. That name is referred to as your local domain name. Shaw lets you use the short name shawnews instead of shawnews.gv.shawcable.net and shawmail instead of shawmail.gv.shawcable.net if you configure Windows or your router to prepend gv.shawcable.net in DNS lookup, if it can’t find a name.
