you dont have to restart, as soon as its added to the /etc/hosts file it will be usable.

One more thing.

If these boxes are on different domains. You will most likely need to use a gateway in /etc/hosts and/or a search parameter in a file similar to /etc/resolv.conf as it is on my HPUX systems.

If they are on the same domain/IP class then you don't need anything else that I can remember.
