EG, you might want to set a resolver to localonly if you have to pay for content it matches, or if the source it resolves against only allows one connection at a time. (Rhapsody/spotify/whatever).
Also, if you're developing a resolver that isn't yet ready, mark it as localonly to avoid others on your network triggering it.
Plugins can implement bool localonly() const { return true; }
Scripts can add "localonly":true to the settings object they return
As usually, you can override settings declared by the resolvers in the config file.
