Yes, so the problem here is your ISP has this local. record - that is
*really* broken, FYI :) - Most actual uses of .local are local LANs,
often MS domains.
There isn't really any better way to 'detect' this.. you could disable
the functionality on your box .. but if the user was actually using
those .local domains and they turn Avahi on then they will break - and
we can't really guess whether they are using them or not.
