Java is not using one [DNS server] itself... it is opening network 
connections through your operating system's network stack, which takes 
care of converting hostnames to IP addresses, establishing the 
connection, etc...  Java has no way of interrogating your network 
settings to determine what DNS server you have configured. 
Unfortunately you have to set this manually.  Well, I guess in theory we 
could make a DHCP request or scan the local network for a DNS server, 
but these both seem a bit intrusive yet convenient (truly a Microsoft 
approach).
