Edit your /etc/resolv.conf, presuming this is a UNIX machine.
Add

search x.com y.com z.com

to it, removing any other lines that begin "domain" or "search".

The resolver(5) man page should be useful.

[ If it's a Windows box, it's in the DNS setting portion of your TCP/IP
  configuration. "Domain Suffix Search Order" IIRC. ]
