Argh. The ".home" domain. There is no IETF RFC which specifies it. See, however, RFC 8375 which officially deprecated its usage in 2018.
Basically the intent is to make it possible, in the DNS framework, to "reference a zone that is served locally, the contents of which are unique only to a particular homenet and are not globally unique." RFC says the TLD to be used is ".home.arpa" instead, tells why, and goes on in typical RFC-lish to describe how DNS software is to deal with it.
For this bear of little brain, using mDNS is simple enough. YMMV.

PS - neither ".home" nor ".home.arpa" is resolved in my ISP's router's DNS support.
