Ultimately whether you can restart the daemon depends on what you agreed upon in your organisation. But I agree with MadeInGermany it should have minimal impact, only performance-wise: directory backend (like LDAP) lookups could be a bit slower for some time and it would mean a bit more work for your directory backend server.
However, depending on the configuration set in /etc/nscd.conf, the cache may be persistent across restarts, so a restart may accomplish nothing.
IMO the best way would be to issue this command:
which would simply invalidate all the host entries in the cache..
