If I understand your question right, you need to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Yes , You are right. So do I need to put an entry of DNS host and IP in this file? the file shows like this
nameserver 10.20.x.x
nameserver 10.122.x.x
nameserver 10.120.x.x
domain xxx.com
search xxx.com

so what exactly I need to put here

You need to put the IP address of the DNS server in a "nameserver" line. There is a limit on the max number of such lines. Maybe 3. Maybe more.

Backup this file, and replace the first nameserver entry with your DNS server's IP. Also ensure that your "search" entry is correct. Solaris 10 does not need the "domain" entry.
