I'm a little confused by what you are asking....
To logon locally with a domain account, you type the name, password and
select the domain from the list (or type DOMAIN\ACCOUNT which causes the
third box to get greyed out.) You can do it either way.
I'm confused by what you are calling a "local logon" vs a "domain logon" ...
a local logon means it is occuring at the console of the workstation (as
opposed to connecting over the network to the workstation) and does not
relate to whether the account is local to the machine or is from a domain.
If you are typing at the keyboard, it's a local logon no matter where the
account comes from. Also called an "interactive" logon in Microsoft-speak.
If you don't want to logon using a domain account (for example-- because you
plan on shutting your server down most of the time) then you should make a
local account. [Although Windows will usually allow a domain logon to occur
if the server is unavailable because it will cache your credentials.]
The term "logging on locally" is also sometimes used to refer to logging on
to a machine using a local machine account (for example, the computer's
local Administrator account.) Maybe that's where the confusion is...
