Hey Simon,
a dotLocal domain is not for communicating with others. It is just available within your LAN. It is a possibiliy to create an ADS domain or (I think) kerberos realms without having to register your own domain. You can still communicate with others over the internet, but just not using the dotLocal. 

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers
