Yes, that would indeed do it..

However, there has in "recent" years been made some progress in this 
field, and DNS has solved the issue of hosts-files being corrupted or 
out of sync between machines on the local network..

It might be worth the effort to set up dhcp with ddns updates - it makes 
such interoperability a piece of cake!
