Unbound DNS override

Hi all!

First of all; I am pretty new to networking. I got my opnsense running for a few months now. I want to make things a bit nicer, and found the Override host feature.

What I try to achieve:

Now, when accessing a local service (plex for example), I type in the local ip i gave to this service (for example 10.20.30.15)

I would like to reach this op by typing something like Plex.Internal. Before I tried working with plex.local (I like this more), but some research told me using .local for this could be a bad idea.

If I understand correctly, I can use the Override tab to create the plex.internal, and link it to the 10.30.30.15. But somehow, I can't get it to work.

So the question is: what am I doing wrong? Is there an extra step required?

And the second question: what domains would be good to use for this? I don't like the .internal very much, what are good alternatives?
