There is no RFC AFAIK, but it has certainly seen some adoption over the past decade. Mikrotik devices use `router.lan` as a default domain name for their routers, for instance. Home labbers on YouTube seem to like to use `.lan`, too.
Would it be fair to think there is a chance `.lan` might get an RFC of its' own given the popularity? Or that's completely irrelevant in case with RFCs? Hard to tell what's the reasoning there - `.home.arpa` seems excessivly long and inconvenient.
Would be a real shame and a bummer if `.lan` ends up becoming public :')
Thanks, didn't even know it existed.
> I didn't see a specific RFC that reserved .lan
