Nope.  example.{com,net,org}. are reserved for use as examples, but
not for use on non-Internet networks.  localhost. is reserved for use
as a name of the local host, but using foo.localhost. may not be such
a great idea.  local. is used in some RFCs in examples to refer to a
domain not on the Internet, but no RFC actually reserves it for that
use.  You could use foo.10.in-addr.arpa., maybe, but there are
probably some things that would break on that.
