Change NTP server

Hi

We will shut down our internal NTP server and replace it with two others (I know its recommended to have more).

Is this the way to do it?
Update /etc/ntp.conf

from
server   <old ip.adr> prefer

to
server   <new ip.adr #1>  prefer
server   <new ip.adr #2> 

And after that restart the ntpd service:
/sbin/service ntpd stop
/sbin/service ntpd start

And can this be done in a production system without any risk?

Thanks from a Linux neewbie :-)

Howdy, Stranger!
