need default domain badly

That question didn't make much sense to me, do you mean for example
you can type "host1" in your web browser and it pulls the right
"host1.yourdaomin.com" page? or put "mail" in your email settings and
it pulls "mail.yourdamin.com"?

You just specify yourdomain.com in the domain settings (sometimes
called search domain) on your workstations.

If that's not what you mean can you rephrase?
