NIS updating question

I use nis on my LAN for storing passwd, group, hosts, services, etc, information. I need to update the hosts file with new ip addresses. Is there an command or easy way to propagate updated host information to the NIS database, or do I just use ypinit and rebuild the whoe database? Thanks. nl
