Chuckle. Looks like a solution looking for a problem. You can use whatever
domainname that tickles your fancy when your net is in an un-routeable
address block.
Sure. Right up until the day that someone registers it on the
Net at large.
As of March 2021, the IANA root database includes 1589 TLDs.
"den" is not currently one of them, but that could change at any
point, and then there would be a high likelihood of "coyote.den"
being registered by someone else.
You might not have a specific problem with that, depending on
how you do local DNS, and depending on what you want. But it's
safer to either use a recognized internal domain (home.arpa, for
instance) or a domain that you own, either with split views or
unpublished internal subdomains (internal.randomstring.org, for
example).
As I keep repeating Dan, there is not a local dns, its all a 15 entry
hosts file atm. So that cannot bite /me/.
Now If I should make a typu, fat fingering & miss-spelling an alias, I
suppose that might resolve to someplace in the neighorhood of a yurt
near Ulan Bator and they might not appreciate my trying to login in
English. Until then I'm not inclined to lose much sleep over it. If it
ever happens, its adjustable in any event. It will all die when this
stuff gets turned off by the cleanup crew after I miss roll call.
There's about 6 years left in the pacemaker battery and the average life
of a TAVR heart valve is another 8 or so years. By then I will be 95 and
might be napping in my morning cereal. Higher Powers have missed several
chances to claim me, but they'd look ar the book and send me down, I'd
fix the stoker, rewind the generators and open an air conditioned bar
and neither of them could tolerate that. In the meantime ;o)>
