after doing this (previews 5, 6 and 7), the permissions for com.apple.mDNSresponder are whacked. The OS is now throwing errors each time a network connection is NOT present:
This computer's local hostname "xxxx.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "xxxxx-%incrementing_number%.local".
Verifying and repairing permissions with diskutil doesn't resolve the issue. Nor does adding the lines back in. The error is repeatedly thrown until a network connection is obtained.
.local now resolves, but this is a pesky error for sure. Proceed with caution.
