Okay experienced home lab enthusiasts and sysadmins. When implementing internal DNS for your network, is it better to:

Use a fake internal TLD
27.3%
Buy a real domain and only use it internally
23.6%
Use split horizon DNS with a real domain
29.1%
Use a sub-domain of your real one
20%

@housepanther Subdomain of a real one. You can always make it split-horizon as well if you fancy.
@dwm I ended up doing that. I have internal.goblackcat.com strictly for my internal stuff. It seems to be the way to go. I also have an internal CA for internal websites.
