Nameservers are associated with commotiond interface profiles. Each
profile has a dns= line. Just change that to your preferred nameserver.

Profiles are stored in /etc/commotion/profiles.d and are accessed using
the commotion > mesh profile menu. You can either edit your existing
profiles (one per interface) or create new ones, then apply them using
the profile tool.
