Good question.  *As far as I know* you have to set this up on each machine.
To avoid this, I setup a DHCPD server and sent the DNS addresses along with
the IP address.  This way, I will never have to make the change in more than
one spot.  It also makes adding new computers easier.  If you want a
specific machine to always have the same address,  you can setup the DHCPD
server to assign specific addresses to specific network cards.

Works like a champ.  If you are interested in setting this up, let me know,
I will send you my config files.
