Comment:

 The only caller appears to be in
 `connection_ap_handshake_rewrite_and_attach` in
 `src/or/connection_edge.c`. That said, I agree that the ".local" domain is
 context-specific and evaluating that in the context of the relay seems
 Bad™. I think "local" here is probably correct, it's just not localhost,
 but rather local-net. Is there anything to really do here?
