you can configure it to hosts files or use the DNS extensions in
/etc/hip/hipd_config:

nsupdate on # publishing of local HITs and IP mappings in DNS
hit-to-ip on # subscribing to remote HIT and IP mappings in DNS

It's also possible to change the DNS server if you don't want to use
public free service.
