freenas.local not working (can't ping or access web UI)

All of a sudden, http://freenas.local stopped working however, the IP address still worked.

ping would respond like this:

ping freenas.local

Pinging freenas.local [92.242.140.21] with 32 bytes of data:

What's that IP address? Nothing on my network...

tracert shows this:

tracert freenas.local

Apparently this is my ISP's (Verizon FIOS) DNS server doing this...

The fix:  I updated my router settings to use google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
