<li>Apple devices should use mDNS for ".local" domain names
automatically. (Not sure if it will fall back to DNS if there is

<li>A quick test I did on Windows 11 suggests it sends mDNS and
DNS queries in parallel.<br>

<li>In Linux the default behaviour will likely depend on your
distro, but can be changed by modifying /etc/nsswitch.conf.</li>
