That depends. What operating system are you running on the machine that
you want to modify? ...and do you have a DNS server running on your
Tomcat server?

DNS configuration on UNIX is usually done in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
However, if you are using DHCP to get your IP address, you may also be
getting DNS information from your DHCP server. If this is the case, your
DNS changes are likely to be overwritten the next time your machine does
a DHCP update.

On windows, DNS configuration is done through the TCP/IP settings
available through whatever "Network Connection" you are using. Just
bring up the properties of that connection, scroll through the "items"
listed as being used by that connection, choose "TCP/IP" and then click
the "Properties" button: you'll be looking at the "TCP/IP Properties"
sheet. If necessary, switch the selection to "Use the following DNS
server addresses", and fill-in the appropriate IP address.

If you have another OS, you'll have to ask someone else ;)
