Local request are defined to be names in the following zones: localhost, 0.in-addr.arpa, 127.in-addr.arpa and 255.in-addr.arpa and any query asking for localhost.<domain>. When seeing the latter a metric counter is increased and if debug is enabled a debug log is emitted. With local enabled any query falling under these zones will get a reply. The prevents the query from “escaping” to the internet and putting strain on external infrastructure.
