The configuration files you're looking are /etc/resolv.conf and 
/etc/rc.conf.

The start/stop scripts are /etc/rc.d/routing and /etc/rc.d/netif 
respectively. You can view then to check out what arguments they accept 
(restart, stop, etc).

You can have a look at man resolv.conf and rc.conf man pages for more info.
