Except if you follow the RFC, for .localhost
"Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD recognize localhost names
as special and SHOULD always return the IP loopback address for
address queries and negative responses for all other query types. Name
resolution APIs SHOULD NOT send queries for localhost names to their
configured caching DNS server(s).

And for .invalid
"Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD recognize "invalid" names
as special and SHOULD always return immediate negative responses.

So that leaves only .test
