But dnsmasq would allow *.local (or whatever) to be forwarded to an LLMNR resolver.

There's one problem: for link-local applications, client software (especially on IPv6) needs an ifindex or other scope indicator. We don't have that using just resolv.conf-based mechanisms. I think that should be added independently of systemd-resolved, though.

I remember spending some time with that. Both systemd's libnss_resolve, and (I think) Avahi's libnss_mdns, do return the scope index. Unfortunately, glibc throws it away.

(libnss_dns of course doesn't return the scope because it doesn't know the scope.)
