My understanding is:

  * Apple devices should use mDNS for ".local" domain names
    automatically. (Not sure if it will fall back to DNS if there is no
    answer.)
  * A quick test I did on Windows 11 suggests it sends mDNS and DNS
    queries in parallel.
  * In Linux the default behaviour will likely depend on your distro,
    but can be changed by modifying /etc/nsswitch.conf.
  * I'm not sure about Android.
