This is not normally necessary. If you are able to resolve Internet
names to their IP addresses, then I wouldn't worry about it. The
hosts.allow file is used by tcpd wrapper to control access, but it is
unusual to have DNS queries wrapped by this program. You can find out
more about the tcpd program from it's man file "man tcpd".
