I believe they go into /etc/network/interfaces, like such:

======================

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.

auto eth1
# The primary network interface
iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.254
        dns-nameservers 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.3
        dns-search mossholder.com

========================

The last two lines are the most important....
