Question: Where is the dnsdomainname set?

[TGS]

Okay, I am not shore how setting my name servers will set the DNS domain
name for my machine. Are you sure you read the message correctly, or have I
misstateed my question?

For instance, if I have a machine name machinex, and it is part og
mynet.com. Making that machine machinex.mynet.com. Where is the mynet.com
set?
