Too much typing, and Chromium-based browsers don't understand it yet and try to search for mything.internal instead, which is annoying - you have to type out the whole http://mything.internal.
This can be addressed by hijacking an existing TLD for private use, e.g. mything.bb :^)
mything/ will make the OS resolve various hosts: mything., mything.local (mDNS), mything.whateverdomainyourhomenetworkuses. (which may be what you wanted).
If you want to be sure, use mything./ : the . at the end makes sure no further domains are appended during DNS lookup, and the / makes the browser try to access to resource without Googling it.
eh, you can just add search domain via dhcp or static configuration and just type out http://mything/ no need to enter whole domain unless you need todo ssl
