The file taht handles this is /etc/resolv.conv and usually contains thet
search domain (i.e yourisp.com) then up to three nameserver entries. Check
your man pages for syntax usually:

search isp.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.32

(replace IP with appropriate DNS addresses)

Hope it helps.
