No reboots are required to activate these settings. You might want to
restart any service that does DNS lookups just to be safe, although I
imagine it depends mostly on the service. Also, if this machine uses
DHCP, you want to make sure that there is not a statement reading
"PEERDNS=YES" in any of your interfaces.
