I presume you mean DNS domain, not NIS domain.
I think it is derived from looking up the name of
the host, which is in /etc/hostname.
E.g:
my /etc/hostname contains 'dione'.
my /etc/resolv.conf says to append 'myth.net'
to undotted hostnames
also, my /etc/resolv.conf says to contact
127.0.0.1 as the name server
so then it contacts my name server (but it
could equally well be any other one that
knows how to resolve names in the domain)
and asks "what is the IP of dione.<my-domain>?"
What exactly you should change depends *why* you
want to change it :-) Why?

PS NIS domain is set by /etc/defaultdomain.
