Question NIS Domain Name Change

I have a single NIS server with about 30 NIS clients. All machines are on RHEL 3-4. I need to change the domain name. For the clients and server, is it as simple as editing:

/etc/sysconfig/network
and
/etc/yp.conf

then restart all NIS services?

Also, do the clients need the NIS server listed in their hosts files, or will DNS work?
