This is quite easy. I wonder why noone see this yet. You use forbidden domain
suffix (.local). It is reserved for mDNS-type networks without a central
server. And of course, host names in your domain end up in mDNS resolver, and
gets rejected as unknown. I'm surprised your setup works at all in first place.
Change domain suffix and it'll work without a hitch.
