RFC 8375 seems to have approved it specifically to use in Home Networking Control Protocol, though it also states "it is not intended that the use of 'home.arpa.' be restricted solely to networks where HNCP is deployed. Rather, 'home.arpa.' is intended to be the correct domain for uses like the one described for '.home' in [RFC7788]: local name service in residential homenets."

The OpenWrt wiki on Homenet suggests the project might be dead: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/zeroconfig/hncp_...

Anyone familiar with HNCP? Are there any concerns of conflicts if HNCP becomes "a thing"? I have to say, .home.arpa doesn't exactly roll of the tongue like .internal. Some macOS users seem to have issues with .home.arpa too: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1bu62do/homearpa_is_...
