I would just add that on your internal network you may literally use any 
valid name. I have an office network and several of the boxes run apache, 
providing me with a web development environment. But I have a self made 
rule of not naming my websites anything which is legal on the WWW.

Because you can create your own yahoo.com on your network, but the problem 
is that if you create thisnameisnotbeingused.com on your network, in the 
future that site may exist but you'll only see your own internal version.

So my internal sites have domains like

yoyomaplayscello
raycharles
nosoup4you-next

and the like.
