What is the current behavior?

When using a subdomain multisite with landrush and a .dev url Chrome 50 complains about ICANN name collisions and does not load the page.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

The page should load using the Trellis default TLD in development.

Feature Request

As .dev is one of the new gTLDs introduced by ICANN and causing name collisions, changing the example configs in Trellis to an extension that ICANN will not delegate might be a good idea. I propose .test since its short and reserved as "never to be used as official TLD" via RFC2606.

There is a thread related to this issue in the Landrush repo: https://github.com/vagrant-landrush/landrush/issues/118

Wait, seriously? They made .dev a real TLD?

what's in your hosts file? on chrome 50 i'm able to use .dev without any issues

not to say we're not open to switching to something such as .test, just curious as to what's going on with your chrome

[swalkinshaw]

Yeah, just to be clear: your local /etc/hosts file overrides everything else. You can override a .com as well. It doesn't matter if it's a real domain, real TLD, whatever.

Oh cool. Just purchase .dev domain and point it at 192.168.x.x, avoid hosts file iirc :trollface:

[bostondv]

Putting the domain in the hosts file works fine for me as well. The problem I have really is when running a subdomain multisite network with landrush. Landrush doesn't seem to overcome the name collision and I'd rather not have to put a host entry for every subdomain in the multisite network :)

On chrome version 53 I get the collision message, same for 55 (unstable/dev)

Is this something you all are still interested in getting done?

Personally I use .local

[iamjoshellis]

I think Apple uses .local for bonjour services on OSX, which could cause potential conflicts.

Good call, I don't use OSX so I didn't have any clue about that.

[scherii]

I think .test is the best available option.

Others (like .localhost or .local) all have some sort of conflict.

[iamjoshellis]

Yea, I'd agree with .test

[pixeline]

We use *.loc

[QWp6t]

You're free to use whatever TLD you want. We'll stick with .dev in our examples for now.
