Are you talking about the machine you are on does not know how to resolve testa.abc.com and test1b.abc.com, or are you talking about other machines on the network? If you are talking about other machines on the network, you have to update the name server they are using. How, or even if you can do this depends on the way the nameserver is set up, and your access to it.
