Pfsense hostname.local does not resolve

Hi,

my pfsense doman is set as .mylocal as pfsense suggest not to use .local as its domain.

I can ping just hostname and hostname.mylocal, but I cant ping hostname.local. I am working with some home automation stuff and most of the micro-controller firmware are configured to search hostname.local.

Is there are way to make pfsense resolve hostname.local.

Thanks
Abhay
