How to configure DNS on Server 2012 to allow hosts without "extension"?

How to configure DNS on Server 2012 to allow hosts without "extension"?

I'm using Windows Server 2012 as my DNS server. I'd like to have the
address http://intranet to point to 192.168.0.180. I'm not able to reach
this. If I create a Forward Lookup Zone, for example Local and add a host
(A-record) there named "intranet", navigating to http://intranet.local
goes to the right place.
What I want is to get rid of this .local extension. How can I achieve
this? I had it working in Server 2008, but after reinstalling the system I
can't remember how I had it done.
