That should be all you need to do Andy. You shouldn't have problems if you set those there unless you have a DNS server, in which case you should update those records too. Checks your /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the "hosts" line and check it has "files" and "dns" in that order, then your machine will use its /etc/hosts file before looking it up using DNS.
