Local domain TLD is .com

Hi, I have recently started working for a new client on their local network.

I have since found the local domain TLD is .com

I personally use .local for local networks which is the commonly used method I know

They have been experiencing some speed issues, whilst I recognise this TLD issue may be causing some issues I know it is not the only problem they have

My question is:

Is there a simplified method for changing the TLD in the domain without the need for a major re-shuffle.

There are only 8 PC's on the network so it would not be totally out of the question to reinstall the whole network but if this can be avoided then it would be preferable as they have a few 3rd party software packages which can be a pain

If i added domain.com to DNS so it looked locally, what issues would this bring when they try to access their URL on the net. They have a website under the same domain.TLD hosted externally
