Does dig consult the proper server?

dig responds instantly but with the query REFUSED when asking for a simple host name, for example "pfa". When asking for the qualified host name, "pfa.local", the output contains the suspicious lines, "WARNING: .local is reserved for Multicast DNS You are currently testing what happens when an mDNS query is leaked to DNS".

So, is it possible that this issue is a result of using ".local" as a pseudo-TLD for the local network?

You really should not be using ".local" as a pseudo-TLD for the local network.
